Description

This is a reprocess of an image I did earlier in the year M42 - LRGB. I felt that the colours were not quite right on that version. Furthermore, I had overworked the core, leading to an un-natural look. This is softer, but none the worse for that I feel.

The data were calibrated, stacked and registered using Astro Pixel Processor. The RGB files were then combined and calibrated also in APP.

M42 data were gathered over several nights in January and February 2017. The date given is the date of final capture.
