Tips for catching M42?? I'm new to astro in general and just saw m42 for the first time last night and really want to capture a good image since I can actually get it focused under a barlow. What filters should I use to really bring it out? I only have light pollution and moon filters, so I'm wondering if color filters will really improve my experience to justify their pricing. I also know fuck all about image editing. Is

Also thoughts on the AT80ED? I wanted a good APO, and this seems like a sweet price for the images I've seen. I plan to use a ZWO 183MC with it eventually and an EQ6-R.
