This run through I thing looks better but, not as much fainter nebulosity showing detail .

Thank you Jack , I think this will be a nice addition to my arsenal . I just need to get more night to make runs 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. isn't good enough until the meridian flip and that makes stacking a real nightmare trying to get rid of the image shift. I'm just getting warmed up with this camera.

Nice colors in Orion. Sometimes it is a trade off on noise vs nebulosity.

I think you are going to do some much faster exposures to get the trapesium and make them part of the stack. Orion has such a broad range that you need to use HDR techniques to do it well.

Don , thank I'll handle that next year. Hoping for better skies too.

Taking multiple shots of different exposure times can be used to bring out the nebula and not blow out the trapezium. The uglyhedgehog link below has some information and an M42 image I took a couple of years ago with a DSLR using this technique. Not as colorful as your image but it does keep most of the nebula and you can still make out the trapezium.

I like it, Ronnie.
I still think things like the Orion Nebula might be the return from a Black Hole.
Sure is an attractive target!

Well done!
