M 42 - Orion Nebula - and friends / first light with my new equipment + skills and my first HaRGB

Revision title: HaRGB

"Orion's Sword" / "Schwert des Orion" and more:

- NGC 1981 - "Crown Cluster" or "Coal Car Cluster" / "Kronen-Haufen" oder "Kohlewagen-Haufen"
- NGC 1977, NGC 1975, NGC 1973 - "Running Man Nebula" / "Running-Man-Nebel"
- M 43 - "De Mairan's Nebula" / "De Mairans Nebel"
- M 42 - "Orion Nebula" / "Orionnebel"
- NGC 1980 - "Lost Jewel of Orion" / "Verlorenes Juwel des Orion"
- and others

There are so many wonderful objects in this field: great H II regions, other colorful nebulae, dust clouds, (blue, white, yellow / "golden" and red) stars / star clusters and others...

First light / DSO with my new equipment, enhanced processing skills and my first HaRGB composite:

- I bought another modified Canon EOS 550D, but the new one is also "cooled".
(In these nights I cooled the camera down to an average of about -15 °C / 5 °F.)
- new mount (EQ6 Pro)
- autoguiding
- flats
- narrowband filter
- HaRGB composite
- and others

I spent many, many days with the processing.
The series of shorter frames (10 sec and 0.5 sec) were important for my processing steps regarding the centre of M 42 - if you zoom in, you can especially see the four main stars of the "Trapezium Cluster" / "Trapez" clearly.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
