M42 and the Running Man

Well things are finally looking up as the last two nights have been just spectacular for a change and so burning the candle at both ends as I'm working days I still managed to get what I consider the best images I've done to date so I'm very happy with my new setup that I've been waiting all winter to try out. Guiding was almost a flat line on the graph, all was working well
I hope you like it.

ED80 field flattener NEQ6 Pro
ST 80 SX Superstar and PHD Guiding
Pentax K5D iso 800
57 subs ranging from 40 secs to 240 secs and master dark applied.
Processed in Images Plus ( still learning how to use it) and CS5

Very nice Ken I like the colours and pin point stars. Looks like your setup is very well tuned.

Thanks Carlos,
Yes I still have to setup everytime as i have no permanent Obs but am getting it down to a fine art now and developed a one star drift alignment regime that only takes about five minutes or so and it has been very good.
I can blink all the subs from this image and you don't see any shift.
