M42 second attempt

Hi all,

I've added some data to yesterday's image. I also calibrated the images with biases, darks and flats. Sky is a little darker. Still a little vignetting in the corner, perhaps my flats aren't up to scratch. I'm not sure if I prefer the star shapes to yesterday's image, but there is definitely less noise and more contrast. Also, I wasn't perfectly aligned, so I needed to crop quite a bit to ditch banding on one of the length sides

Feel free to share some feedback so that I can progress.

Thanks,
Stéphane
