M42 -- personal best so far

I complained recently about my modded Fuji X-A1
DSLR not working too well when I tried to capture M33.
The problem I had in December when doing M33 seems to have corrected itself. Not sure why but the image is much sharper this time.
I guess lots of people do M42 at least once a year. This is my best capture of the nebula, after many years of trying.
On my next night out, I'll try using my QHY163m with the SHO filters.

Great capture Joe, congrats! The modified Fuji is no slouch, curious how it will compare to your astro camera.
