Nice shot. Fav. Like the contrast of color between the inner and outer parts of the nebula. Though It would have been an even better shot if you managed to get M43 in the frame completely. Its sort of just catching the top of the frame, teasing me.

Again I like the no diffraction spikes on your stars. Is that because your telescope is a catadioptric. I think I remember reading that newtonians have diffraction but catadioptrics don't, but I cant be sure.

Yes, my telescope is the SCT. It is quite nice, but sometimes having some diffraction spikes can make a picture look nice... but its too often over dramatized in some images.

I need to upload an image of M42 and 43. I have a widefield view of it and just haven't had a chance to upload it yet.

el volumen que dan los colores sobre el fondo es encantador...
