Hi all,

Here is my attempt at M42. I'm not sure how to get rid of the blooms in the trapezium. I used the debloomer in CCDStack to get rid of most of the blooms. Anyway, considering the after I processed the image it was clipped, it didn't turn out too badly I think. Details on the image.

That is pretty nice Paul. Blooming can only be handled with different exposures for the Trap and the nebula, then combined I think. grin
