My best M42: Mallincam DS 2.3+, Mallincam 8 inch newt F/4
Mounted on the ZEQ 25, my new 8 inch f/4 Newtonian astrograph is a spectacular performer when paired with the DS 2.3+. Here is an image of M42 with this combination; this is a 25 second exposure at gain 35, 8 images stacked in Nebulosity. An amazing result for this modest platform!
