M42 & Running Man

[Scooot]

I had the little Tak out early the other evening to look at Mercury so decided to take advantage of the clear sky to image M42, my first attempt this year. All the subs were taken between about 7:45 and 9:30. Orion was pretty much due South when I started but it was beginning to sink into the muck near the end. This is about an hour and a half of 30 second exposures at ISO400 plus a 10 second exposure for the core. I used my Canon & baby tak on the star adventurer. There's some redness to the background which I presume is the remains of some light Pollution. I know its another M42 but I hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

Tnankyou. Yes I should have said. I used Bias, flats and darks. A stack of 20 darks & about 40 flats taken the same evening. The image is cropped slightly.
