Good job on stopping the Trapezium from getting washed out Peter,
but the nebulosity seems to be limited in extent. Perhaps you lost some of it when processing the image; or maybe it's just because I use a larger scope that I expect to see more. Anyway, good job.

the few times I tried DSS is never did much for me. this however even in B&W looks great. Your right I may have lost some in processing. There's more in the B&W
