M42 - The Orion Nebula

5 x 40 seconds in each of red, green and blue and 6 x 200 seconds in each of red, green and blue. Captured with a TEC 140 (f/7) and an FLI ML16803. The V component of an HSV separation was stretched, rather than a regular stretch of the whole RGB, to better retain the colour. The full 4096x4096 pixel version is available here.
