Yeah, I know. I'd started on this before JJJ posted her very nice image, but I'm chuffed with the selective masking around the Trapezium in this one. Any it won't be the last this year either...
LRGB at 8 x 300s each channel, with a set of 30s subs as well for the Trapezium, and processed in Pixinisght and Photoshop. I've also got some S2 and Ha data, but haven't worked out what to do with that yet.
Scope was the Venerable Meade (10" starfinder f4.5 on a G11) and the camera was a QSI683wsg.
Constructive criticism, admiring oohs and aahs all welcomed.
