Well done Paul.

Nothing beats a dark sky.

Now if you want to make it better try bringing out the blue.

Have a good look at what others have achieved as a reference.

Up to you really, it's very good as it is now.

Thanks Jeff, M42 is very popular as it is so bright and colourful. Still it is always worth a go every year I reckon. One day i will try and give it justice and many many more hours of data.

I agree Peter, the running man as a reference should be a lot bluer. Thanks for the compliment.
