m42 with a twist - did it in B&W
while learning to process in Images plus with some images I took on the 25th Feb of M42 et al, somehow I stuffed it (pretty easy really) and made a B&W image. 18 x 50 second images stacked iso 1600 modded canon 300d

That's a great image Houghy. Reminds me of the good old days.
In fact I'll go as far as to say...I love that image!!!!!

Great shot, Houghy! I like B&W photos like this because without the color, the details seem to stand out even better. At least your attention is drawn to the detail more if you are not paying attention to the color.

Excellent Huffy. To me, the B&W version is quite appealing as that's closer to what I see with my eyes.
