Description

Scaled down version from what was a nearly 190 megapixel image.
9 Panel Mosaic of the constellation of Orion including Barnard's Loop, Witch Head Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, M42, M43, M78 and others.
20 x 120s images per panel.  Plan to add much more data if weather permits.
  • AstroPixelProcessor worked it's magic on the data to create the mosaic after which the Light Pollution removal tool was meticulously used to correct the background.
  • Russell Croman's NoiseXterminator used on the Linear image at about 75% prior to processing.
  • Russell's StarXTerminator was used to create star's only and starless images which allows for more aggressive processing on faint nebulosity.  Image is recombined later using Pixelmath.
  • Also processed using Russell Croman's new BlurXTerminator and it worked wonders correcting stars where corners of the mosaic panels overlapped.  Extremely pleased with this tool as I am with Russell's other 2 that I purchased.
