Description

Okay, so I'm a little curious what you will say about this one. I've seen loads of terrible renders of this object: with oversaturated colours, bizarrely boosted local contrasts, and detailed structures heavily disfigured by AI de-convolution. I've tried to avoid all this, and processed the image as simply and gently as possible, though it's inevitably a heavily HDR image in order to capture both the four-starred Trapezium in the brightest part of the nebula, as well as the faint dust and hydrogen clouds in its vicinity.
