M42 Sidonio'ed

[allan gould]

After Strongmanmike and Iceman Mike's comments, I decided to repro my M42 data to better present the core and add a little more detail and colour to the image.
Comments welcomed.

Looks pretty nice Allan. I would maybe back off the unsharp mask just a little though. Still looks good though.

Very nice Allan, Sharp as a Tak, maybe a little too sharp but the detail is outstanding.
Well done.

Nice work Alan!
You've got your colour balance down to a tee.
Lovely and vibrant.

Nice repro. Lovely details. :thumbsup:

That looks good to me too. I would though recommend a crop to get rid of the Running Man nebula as you only half got it. Framing in hindsight would have been better to concentrate on M42 by itself as there isn't enough field of view to show both.

Wow!great work allan.....is this a repro from the last one you posted up on the 4/11/10? a huge improvement! well done.

Yes it was and I thought that I had better do something about the comments I received. I also used it for a widefield I put together using Registar ( see below ). Its such and interesting field that if the rain goes away I might also do a widefield including the horse head nebula.
