M42 core - Trapezium

[bluescope]

I think I was too tired last night after my 10 hour stint the previous night. I tried a projection image of M42 and the tracking was shocking plus coma ( no mpcc ) so I could only do very short exosures without terrible star trails. I only lasted about an hour before packing up. Anyway this is a crop of one of the images.

Hi Steve, that dont look like tracking to me, Its a bit random , could it be something else, Anyone else agree ?
