Also you get emission, reflection and dark nebs all in the one area.
Some wicked detail to the Horses dark column and to the base area, with detail normally reserved for Hubble. 
I was really looking forward to see what this scope could do.... mmm, I'm impressed to say the least. 
Mikes point about how it handled Alnitaks rays was a good one. When I've imaged this with my Newt, leaving 'nitak outside of the fov, I always had the ray traces entering into the image.
In this image of yours, not a trace. (no pun)
Great stuff Greg. I bet your really pleased... Well if you aint... jeeeez man 
Look forward to all the great stuff you're going to do with this brilliant piece of kit!
All the best

Thanks Rich.
I am very pleased with it. I've always found APOs very alluring pieces of equipment.
I hope to do some more imaging with it this weekend if the weather permits.
Greg.
