Description

The Running Man and the Great Orion Nebula. M42 can be processed so many ways, and I've seen it really over sharpened, and really blown out on the colors or saturation. Everyone has different tastes, but I think I like this kind of treatment best. I was very happy that I kept the trapezium resolved in the center, and most of the color in the really bright areas. The skies were very good the evening I shot this. It's only 16 x 5 exposures, but I dithered and I think it came out quite smooth.
