Yet another M42

[pixueto]

Here is my attempt at M42 -3 hours and 15 minutes -all 5 minute subs and two 30 second lights for the core. Guided with an Orion Starshoot autoguider. Modded canon 450D and an Evostar ED80. Comments would be welcome  good or bad,  thanks for looking.

That is a lovely M42 image. With this present weather you ought to be proud of it, I have had nothing but rain and mini storms for the last 3 weeks. I took the liberty of playing with your jpeg in PS just to give it a little more punch. I hope that you don't mind.

Regards,

Thank you. All the data was taken last Friday. Now I'm waiting for another clear night to see if I can add another 2-3 hours and bring out more detail from the dark clouds. I made some changes too.

This time with the picture cropped to maintain resolution.

Lovely, nice core and nice colour.
