Camcorder captures M42

I wasn't going to post this image at first, all the other contributions here are so beautiful. But there is no beginners astrophotography section, (hint hint, so we beginners won't feel embarrassed showing off our shonky shots ) so here it is.
I took this this morning while waiting for Saturn to climb a bit higher in the sky.
I reckon I've pushed this camcorder to it's limit to capture this. 862 frames stacked in Registax. Gamma adjustments were used to bring out the nebulosity.


I've got another 800 frame .avi to add to this. But Registax just had a bowel movement and wont process it.
