90 seconds in I.R light QHY8 and M42

I was playing around with a IR pass filter some weeks back, but only just remembered i took a image to see how it would look.
It actually came out OK. You can see just which stars have huge luminance compared to visible light. In the core of M42 can be seen somebright stars, but you actually see more stars in IR, plus a bright star just to the right of M42 that just isnt there on the other..
One thing i noticed, jet black background !.
jeepers, no skyglow with this sucker in there.
