Liked M42 and Eta as no matter how many times they are imaged they always are worth looking at, yours are sharp and well processed.

Thanks Allan,
I actually thought Eta Carinae was better.
I am very pleased with the detail & small stars I get with my Newt.
It is a high quality custom built one & was worth the money.

Example:
here is the result of 30 second RGB frames - 1 each - binned 1x1 of the Trapezium.
They were used to layer it in for the Orion pic.
Even with only 3 arc second seeing it clearly shows the main 4 stars & maybe a 5th.
I'd love to do a lot of 10 second frames & stack them to see what I could get of this area.
If the seeing is better one night I'll try it.
Image is shown full scale.

cheers
Allan
