Description

First time using my new Flat Field Apo, the TS-Optics 86SDQ and my Canon EOS 6D. The telescope is a charme and very easy to use, even with the full frame of the 6D. Just attach it, find focus and everything is perfect, no finding of backfocus required.
The result is this image of M42, the Great Orion Nebula, my first "proper" picture of this classic object. It was shot from the city and lightpollution near the horizon gave me a really hard time but carfeful processing, especially exploiting PixInsight's LocalNormalization, gave a great result nevertheless.
There of course some problems. I'm not sure whether I'm satisfied with the blue in the image and for some reason the images of the EOS 6D always had a rather bright area at the bottom, even though I always very carefully take calibration frames.
