T'is the season...

...for M42

Took the data I collected the other night, threw out the ONE shot that seems to have caused the "soft" focus look to the stack (slight motion, not blur), restacked. MUCH happier with this result!!!

Tried layering a good core shot, but it looked fake, so rejected that idea. I LOVE how this Vixen splits those close doubles so finely and distinctly (not visible in the original stack) - the wonders of fluorite and a precision made scope Next time, I will use my Hotech field flattener, as there is some distortion near the edges as expected.

Now to keep adding to this one. I want the full dust cloud, not just the whispy bits there now...
