Orion Nebula 2022-03-06 - A 12 Frame Test With A Nikon D780

            Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat +51.542 Long -3.593

 Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Nikon D780 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.

Imaging session commenced 22:13 UT

9 light frames of 30s at ISO 2000
3 light frames of 20s at ISO 800
Also 10 dark frames.

A light to moderate breeze and increasing cloud interrupted this imaging session.  Only 12 suitable frames captured with low exposure times but at a higher ISO level.  

Despite this, I decided to process this meagre haul using Deep Sky Stacker. Finally, some basic adjustments on levels & colour with G.I.M.P. gave a surprising result. I must obtain a coma corrector now and also have a look at some alternative processing software.
