Test Composite RGB shot of the Orion Nebula, M42 from ASO

Getting a new system together for large scale comet morphology studies.
This is a composite RGB shot of the Orion Nebula taken on January 13 U.T. 2012 at ASO.
The telescope is a LZOS Zenithstar 110 f/5.9 apochromatic refractor, coupled with an SBIG ST2000 XM with RGB filters in place.
Photo is a total of 150 seconds in each Red, Green, and Blue, 75-sec images of each x2 stacked.
Field - 57' x 75'
Binning = 1x1
Pixel Size = 7.4 microns
Overall I am very pleased with this system. Sky conditions were not particularly transparent (4/6) and the air was quite turbulent and cooling rapidly.

I'll have to do some more checking,
Thanks,

I can see it when browsing with Safari (iPhone / iPad / Mac). I will try with Ie in a bit and update.
Just used ie 7 and was able to see the image as well.
Here is a link directly to the image, if someone can try this:

When I click on the link Keith provided I get an error;
An Error Has Occurred!
It seems that you are not allowed to download or view attachments on this board.
Maybe that will help determine the issue.

I am on an anonymous computer at this time using Windows XP Explore 8.0 and can see the image just fine here as well.
This is very strange...to my knowledge, this is the first time an image posted on this forum cannot be viewed by all.

I am going to repost this image; some are able to see it and others cannot and it may have something to do with each user's screen settings.....just not sure.
At any rate, here is another attempt:
