Here's a Great Orion Nebula from a couple of weeks ago. Again, the MX716 on an LX90 at around 3.3, with True Technology filters. It's my second LRGB attempt, time of about 20:12:12:12 total. Processing in AstroArt3 with some tweaking of the luminance (histrogram shaping)in AIP. Thanks again for letting me share,

Nice shot Larry!
Actually, I consider M42 a TOUGH object to image, not because of it being dim, but because of all the different areas with so different levels of detail & brightness... it takes quite a bit of work being able to display it in it's full glory...

Thank you for sharing with us,
