Extreme close up of M42 core

I was planning to do an image of the Trapezium area, but since it's cloudy here tonight I instead decided to look through some old data...
Amazingly I stumbled upon a close up of the exact area which I have apparently never bothered to process fully.

So here it is in all its glory, an extreme close up of the core of M42.

Details:
Stack of 35x10.5s on 21/11/2005 + 110x20.5s on 15/02/2006
Taken with ToUCam Pro and 10" Newtonian on Losmandy G11.
No guiding and no filters.

Comments, critique etc are welcome.

Very Cool Rolf and pretty good given it was taken way back in the mid naughties

It's an amazing area up close

Thank you Paul, yes it's interesting to image it so close up. I didn't think there was very much detail in the data originally so never bothered to process it, but it turned out all right.

Thanks Mike, actually my imaging equipment hasn't really evolved since the mid naughties... . But there might be an SBIG in store for me later this year... After 7 years of ToUCam imaging I think I kind of deserve it
