Alnitak...and friends

Folks,

This is a bit of a work in progress following a nomadic imaging feast last week

This is the area around Alnitak taken with a Canon 1100D (unmodded) and WO Zenithstar 71 mounted on an EQ6, unguided.

30x 2m ISO1600 subs taken from Bretti (+5 darks)
36x 5m ISO1600 subs taken from Wiruna (+7 darks)

Following recent threads on the subject, I've not used any bias frames.

There's a few things here for me to work on - notably the bloated and blue-y stars, and I think the nebulosity has some more to give

As always, suggestions/comments/etc on how to bring this out nicely greatly appreciated!
