A B C D E F G & H

I was originally after a “pretty picture” of the 6 main stars in the Trapezium, A B C D E & F. After seeing Ken’s “pumped” version, I went back to the 2 AVI’s I had captured and re-processed them to see what was lurking in the data.

In doing so, I managed to locate stars G & H which are shown on both AVI’s, lessening the chance that they are noise or processing artefacts. Thanks for the nudge Ken!

There is an excellent reference diagram at Jerry Lodriguss’ website which proved very useful in identifying the various components of this fascinating multiple star system as well as an amazing photo by Mark McCaughrean from the European Southern Observatory.

Cheers

Dennis
