Default M42

Jon Walton in the UK shot this beautiful RGB image of M42. He even caught a satellite trail in the left side of the image.

It consists of 50 minutes each of RGB shot using Astrodon filters and a Tak FSQ-106ED supplied by BT Technologies. This image was shot using my Remote Scope (www.remote-scope.com) setup in northern Alabama.

Jon processed the image using Maxim DL and Photoshop CS2.

Great work, Jon!!

That's very nice, Dave.....the color is right on, and he went pretty deep on the picture...showing much of the background nebulosity.
