Description

The data for this LRGB image are from Dark Matters Astrophotography (https://darkmattersastro.com/) and consisted of unprocessed R, G, B, and L masters from approximately  10 hours of total exposure.  The telescope was a Planewave CDK14 located in New Mexico.  It was equipped with a Moravian C5A-100M camera.   This Sony IMX-461 camera produces huge images (11664 x 8750 pixels).  The image was processed in PixInsight.  BlurXterminator and NoiseXterminator were not used since the stars were already very small, and there was very little noise.  A GAME mask was used to prevent excessive brightening of the Trapezium when the "Star" image was stretched.  Exposure blending was not used in this image.  It is from a single exposure.    As advertised, the quality of the data is exceptional.
