M42 Tony Hallas 2 panel mosaic

This is a 1/4 size image of the full 2 panel mosaic taken by Tony Hallas with a 206EDF refractor. M42 is almost unrecognizeable in this deep image.

Interestingly, besides the amount of stuff visible in the nebula itself, the top right darker area contains about half a dozen small faint galaxies, which can be seen in the full resolution image.

Hey Rolando,

I was about to say "one photo, a thousand words" but that would not be doing justice to this incredible photo.

Any data surrounding the image such as subs (number and length) etc?

Anthony.

Just a question.
Comparing this B&W image to similar images produced by Dave Jurasevich using 160EDF I see that the bright stars are highly bloated in AP206 images, what causes this?
