Semi hi-res M42 core

Hello,

It took me some 2 hours to collect this data through gaps between sets of clouds in Brisbane last night, and in that period, all I managed to acquire was 5 seconds Lum and 10 seconds each of R, G & B; 35 seconds of data for 2 hours effort!

Rather than let it go to waste, I decided to process the data and I was surprised how well it held up. The six brighter stars of the Trapezium, A to E, have been nicely resolved.

Tak Mewlon 180 F12 at prime focus (2160mm fl) with an ST2000XM and CFW9.

Thanks for looking!

Dennis
