M-42 The Orion Nebula

Subject:M-42 the Orion Nebula. 1500 LY distant.
Telescope:Takahashi FSQ-106n f/5
Mount:Losmandy G-11
Imager:ST-8XME Non-ABG using a Custom Scientific H-Alpha filter with 4.5nm bandwidth.
Image Details:This is a 5 minute integration. Slight non-linear stretching was done to improve the fainter details to the edge of the nebulosity. A deeper shot would improve upon this, but this was a quick test of the filter. Dark and flat frames were used.
