M42 new for old

Amazing what a year of practice and some more suitable gear will do. Two shots of M42, one taken around a year ago and a second one which was a quickie shot last night after the target I was shooting got to an unfavourable position. Just a pity that cloud interrupted things so I did not get short subs to try to blend in a core that is not burned out, job for later along with more 5 minute subs to smooth out the background.

Now to upgrade the glass so that the blue is properly focused. I reckon I am near the end of the road with the Evostar 72. To get much better I need to change something I think, either a mono camera so I can focus individually on r/g/b or a better scope for the OSC to peer through.
