Description

This is my latest edition of M42 using a combination of 10s and 30s images with the IDAS NBZ and Baader Moon & Skyglow. I worked in the core as best I could with a lot of trial and error with star masks and different variations to HDR Multiscale Transform in Pixinsight to pull out as much detail of the Trapezium and other stars in from the core with trying not to overdo it. Using the RASA even at these short exposures can make that a challenge.
