Matt, Very nice indeed
Good color, Great focal length for the target...
I must ask though, whats with the flare coming off the star in the bottom right of the image? is that a reflection off the corrector plate or perhaps a slight collimation problem? I've never seen anything like it...
Was that at F/10 or did you use a focal reducer?
In any case, fantastic.... Layer masking is the only way to deal with the trapezium... its such a hot area to try to recover...
I'm going to photographically split the trapezium into 6 stars next week hopefully...
Thats the plan anyway.
