First Try with M42

Had a clear night tonight, so I went outside mainly to get comfortable with my workflow, practice focusing, etc. That being said, this did not turn out bad for a first attempt (only 10 x 30 sec subs with 5 darks and 5 bias) so I thought I would post. BTW Nebulosity rocks. Considering their is a streetlight at the end of my driveway, I think the Astronomik CLS filter did its job too.

Tomorrow night, more practice with the focusing.

Any C&C is welcome....
