A quick M42

Has been a few weeks since I've been able to get some clear weather for deep sky imaging. Clouds have come in again tonight, so i thought i'd make the most of the last two nights with an easy bright target.

Star shapes (particularly in the top left) are not perfect. Will address the collimation/tilt issue when I clean the optics over the Christmas break.

19 x 600s
30 x 120s
28 x 30s
(all ISO1600)

Camera is a DIY modified Canon 1000D with regulated cooling at 10C (just above the ambient dew point)
