M42 again

After SteveL's comments I had another bash. I think there's a bit more detail but at the expense of a lot of noise. I'm going to stop playing with this one now...

Cracker John,

It doesn't look excessively noisy to me... have you tried layering a small satck of the shorter subs to get the trap reigion?

John, that's improved it a lot, well done!

Thanks all. Billy I did try a separate stack of the trap, bu the KV80 isn't able to resolve them enough, and instead of getting 4 stars I got a large blob with 4 near lobes on it... To be honest, I know the trap is blown, but I'm well happy to have got this much detail out of it given the gear I'm using and the limitations I'm working under.
