M42 CDK17

I actually got some clear skies briefly recently. I imaged M42
using a Planewave CDK17, Paramount ME and FLI Proline 16803 camera.

There are also some interesting crops of the various areas. The large
aperture of the CDK plus the excellent guiding of the Paramount meant I
could crop some of these areas and still retain reasonable resolution.

Cool images Greg. I like the crops. Looks like all the equipment is playing real nicely with each other.
