ASI224MC and M42

A month ago I received an astrocamera from a friend to test. The astrocamera is from ZWO type ASI224MC. This ASI224MC has a 1/3" sensor with 1.2Mega Pixels type IMX224 with Sony Exmor and NIR technology;  extremely low read noise and very sensitive, especially in IR.

I use FireCapture as the software controlling the camera.

My first images are the Orion Nebula using my non guided Dobson OrionXT 12"

Video's are captured in AVI, stacked using Registax6 and edited using CS4v11.
