Description

Rev B improves color in the central core.

New data from my AT 80edt scope. M42 is always tough to process as it's brightness varies so much from the bright Trapezium area to the dark outer dust/gas areas. This image is made up of 2 sets of RGB images: one at 30s and the other at 150s. The resulting images were layered together and in spite of that, the Trapezium was still burned out. A third lightly stretched image was then layered in. 10 Ha images at 500s were also used for the outer areas of the nebula.
