Description

Jan 5, 2016 - Orion Nebula M42

Here is another back to the past edition, with all the new processed tools I edited my data of Orion Nebula that I captured beginning of 2016, this was a very challenging image as it was composed of different exposures 2sec, 5sec, 10sec, 15sec, 30sec, 60sec and 120sec subs to create a dynamic range of the bright core and to add more complexity, it was capture with my first modified none cooled camera (Canon SL1) all at ISO1600 and if you are familiar with those camera, the thermal noise are extreme, I remember my darks where captured while the camera is in the fridge to match the ambient temperature of the light frames in January, it was a huge learning curve back then.

The amazing thing is the original image took me 2 months to process while the new one only took 3 hours to get the final image, I hope you like it.
