Another M42

[AndyM]

(click to enlarge)

Just managed to get this before camera battery, power pack and my feet gave up the fight against the cold.

15 subs of 30 seconds stacked in DSS processed in Paintshop.

350d @ ISO 800 on the 200 newt.

While I was getting this image I saw two bright meteors to the south. The second was VERY bright and took me by surprise so much, I'm ashamed to say I actually ducked!

I hope you didn't bang you head on the scope when you ducked Andy.

If you did, it didn't spoil what is a stunning picture of 42.
