Description

Here is my latest version of the Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula.

This winter has been very cloudy in my area, with only a handful of clear nights since early December. The nights that were clear, had poor seeing and transparency - with plenty of moonlight.

I am so desperate to get out and image, I am capturing frames in conditions that I would normally avoid at other times of the year!

So, here is the result from imaging in less than ideal conditions in a snowy, light polluted backyard in Ontario

Stacked in DeepSkyStacker. All post processing in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.

This is a HaRGB Composite using the Ha Data as a Luminosity Layer.
