Hi Chris and
to IIS, great to have you here.
That's a very nice M42. For 7x 211s, I'd expect to see a burnt out core. Did you mask it with shorter exposures?
Also next time, take care with the composition and try to frame the nebula a bit better.
btw, did you attach the image properly? It doesn't appear to be fullsize. Just attach the normal websized image, and the forum will create a thumbnail for you.
Cheers and I look forward to more!
