M42 while waiting for M42.

Hi,

I'm hanging out to do a deep image of M42, skies have been crap lately!

So I dug out 30 minutes of data from last year, not particularly good data some image tilt.
But just wanted to see how much faint stuff I could dig out around M42.

Quite surprised what was hiding in the measly data, took quite a bit of layering to bring it out.
Image is slightly cropped.
Here's the original stacked image too.

8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

6 x 5 minute subs, ISO 800 and 1 x 2 minute ISO 800. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS Cs2.

Cheers,

Justin.
