Jim,

Your shot is pretty cool, too.  There's a lot of detail in the cloud 
around the trapezium.  I've still got some more learning to do about 
stacking images.  I've tried a couple of times, but not real satisfied 
with the results. I've attempted to use Deep Sky Stacker and Registax.  
Gotten some results from DSS, but Registax hasn't been successful yet.  
I look forward to us learning together.

Rob
