M42 - first image for a long time

Hi all,

Finally got the new laptop going and got the energy up to try some imaging again. Was a hot night - 30 degrees - so set the Canon 450D to ISO 800 in a hope of reducing some of the noise. Still very noisy and the city location is fairly light polluted - no chance of getting some of that nice dust. Didn't bother with taming the core with a shorter exposure.

Looking at getting a cooled camera but what?

10X5 mins
Tak Sky 90 with reducer at 4.5
Astronomik CLS filter

Cheers,

Craig
