RE: [APML] M42, yet another...

Steve,
I second Herm's thoughts.  Well done with regard to focus and guiding.
I did take a look at this image in Photoshop levels and it looks like
the low end is clipped in all 3 channels.  I think you have some more
faint details in the original scan.  You might want to try to pull those
faint details back out.  This has the makings of a tremendous image.
That is a very impressive frame given no cropping.  The levels for the
black areas are in the low single digits with 0,1,2's.  You may want
that to be a little more than that.  Great shot and best wishes for
April new Moon.
