It's a Trap!

After Mikes recent effort of the trap I thought I'd go back into the archives and see what I might be able to dredge up from my last Mewlon image of the Orion Nebula.

It has been upscaled to buggery but it is 8x60s unguided exposures (shorter ones would have really helped tame the trapezium itself) that I'm measuring at 1.4" in the stacked image.

I've done a little bit of deconvolution and not taken any care on protecting the stars outside of the central region. I feel like I'm getting a nice clean split between H1 & H2 which I'm pretty happy with.

Once I get the collimation dialled in on my new CDK and the seeing improves to a point under 2.5" I may give it another go with a mono setup.

Thanks for the challenge Mike!
