CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!
Hi William, is it really 300mm, any typo?
Great shot, so much details within the Nebulous, and and must have crop it out a lot for such a large image. Trapezium is clearly resolved.
For Nikon ED lens, the blue fringe on stars in not characteristic.
In any case, one of the best M42 i have seen

O i c , Typo ...means " typing mistake " i thot you need at least a 600mm scope to resolve the resolution of the M42 you took.
Anyway, it is a great shot
