Orion Reprocessed
Here's another reprocessed image, this time of Orion. The focus is still lousy, but more detail is visible. Note the faint streaks in the image. I do not know what caused these artifacts. I suspect they are the result of vibration from the SLR shutter and mirror mechanism at the beginning of the exposure jiggling the scope; they do seem to correspond to the imaged stars, but are displaced.
