M42: The Great Orion Nebula

This is a very nice image of the orion nebula, M42. Taken with film, prime focus on my 12" LX200 it was somewhat of a challenge (4 attempts) to reduce the star trailing. This end result is not perfect but good enough for me with current equipment. Unlike most modern astro photographs this is a single exposure.
Camera:Pentax SP1000
Aperture:300mm
