Description

My first Oriion object of the year! Tried to emphasize the brightness of Alnitak vs trying to tone it down - it really *is* bright and wanted it to come across that way, while still eluding to the fainter dust that helps make up the Horsehead itself. I used actual Luminance for the L channel (combined 3 different exposures using HDR Combine) but I may go back and make a super-luminance and mix some HA into that vs just into the red channel.

Description: When processing I loved the details in the H-A data, in some ways I think I like this image better than the color one.
