2nd attempt at M42 since Feb 2018

[PembrokeSteve]

Hi,
This is only the second time I have ever imaged M42, so I am very pleased with my result. What an improvement on last February's first ever attempt!!
It is amazing what details can be had from just a short capture like mine, and I am full of admiration when I see the many superb M42 images on the forum from experienced imagers.
I will now have to knuckle down and get more sub time in !

Aye.... that's the golden rule. 

BTW.... cracking picture.  ED80's  take some beating for versatility.
