Title

M42 - first narrowband attempt

About this image

First proper attempt at narrowband imaging and processing.

This started mostly just as a test session, since the first part of the night was cursed with passing clouds right in front of my target. I also had some problems with the autofocuser (that just stopped working at some point), and balancing issues.

All things considered, not too bad...

I processed the image in both HOO palette (more natural looking) and SHO.
