Nice result Martin.

BTW, the 'Horsehead' is just off the bottom of the picture, a little way past the bright star at the bottom.

If I could just hijack this thread for a moment. How big is the horses head in comparison to the 'finger' at the core of M42?

I've been trying for some time now to catch this blighter but am beginning to think that it is too large to fit on the chip without a f/r.

Sorry for the hijack Martin

Done well there Martin for those short exposures , nice smooth image and well processed , should look a cracker if and when we get some long clear spells.

Thanks again. I will try longer exposures when weather permits.

Clear skies!
