Last night I was looking for a test object even though there was about 60% Moon. There was some thin cloud to the South so M42 it was.

Details
Canon 5DH, Meade SN10 with Paracorr PL-1106, Hutech LPR filter, 10x(7,15,30&60 sec) at 200ISO, 10x(1,2 min) at 400ISO, 2 min at 800 ISO, fridge at -10.0C.
Used EasyHDR to produce this image after the usuals with ImagesPlus and Registar.There is a reflection from the corrector plate.
With no Moon I can go a lot deeper. So far the SN10 looks like a very good performer.
