I agree with Paul Haese regarding the core area blending... The colours in the core are very different, making the blending job look fairly obvious.. Other than that its great to see M42 in the sky again.. I can't wait to have a crack at it again this time around...
Steven - You've got to be kidding right? Overdone, yes, I wont dispute that.. But boring? I want what you've been smoking! M42 is one of those targets that no matter how many times you see it, its still awesome.. and the deeper you go, the more you realise there is a wealth of beauty in the area surrounding M42... The gap between M42 and the running man for instance is a perfect example... theres plenty of dusty areas, reflection neb, emission nebs and colourful star clusters all in one tiny area of the orion region..
Each to their own I guess.. but M42 is the staple of my astro-photography year... I have more images of M42 than I have of any other target, I can't wait to hit it and the horsehead again this year.
