M42_OSC+Ha combo

[MariusD69]

Hello!
Last year on 22nd September I captured this target with OSC camera (ASI294MC PRO), just before dawn (53 minutes total exposure). Although I would have liked to add more frames, that's all I had left for last season.
Now, at the beginning of the new season, I managed to capture two hours of Ha data ( an hour before dawn, in two nights), with ASI1600MM. I wish I could add more hours of OSC data in this season, too.
So, I made a combination OSC+Ha. Of course, I had to redo the whole process. But I didn't made any deconvolution or stars reduction.
For comparison, I'll also post the last year image.

it was worth it to add more ha.

That is quite a beautiful image Marius!
The added Ha data made one heck of a difference!

The dustiness is magnificent!
