Going by the responses all think its a fantastic result.
I too very recently tried out a new lens for deep sky,but going by
the lack of comments,I must have had a bad result.
Good luck with the 400 l for astro work.

What an awesome field. Similar to the FSQ/STL combination.
Looking forward to more from this awesome setup. Time for mosaics, perhaps? ; )

Cheers H - colour is a bit gaudy, will probably add to it and redo with that in mind. Noticed that reflection neb too - hope it isn't just a 'reflection' as the bright star to the immediate right of M42 has a large halo around it...mmmmmm!?
Cheers all
