Inside M42
Here's something different. I used my 16" planetary scope with a custom made focal reducer/coma corrector and a QHY8 camera. A grand total of 6 minutes exposure (60x6sec used) from light polluted St Kilda. I had a lot of difficulty extracting the fainter parts from the sky noise.
The exposures were unguided at 4m focal length and I had to throw away a lot of them due to tracking errors and wind disturbances.
