M42 The 'Great' Orion Nebula

I had a lot of fun last night while I stayed up to watch Felix jump from his balloon. Primarily sitting on the balcony taking happy snaps of Orion whilst nervously biting my nails in anticipation of the highest ever sky dive and was not dissapointed on either front!!!

Settings used:
Canon 60d
50sec exposures
640iso_31min_40frames
Sky Watcher ED80 Pro Gold Edition
Sky Watcher HEQ5
Orion Star Shoot Guider on a 50mm Scope
Backyard EOS Software 'Camera Control'

Comments and suggestions welcomed

ps: Is the fuzzy around the star what you refer to as coma?
