Description

A 2.5 hour HDR composition image of M42 and NGC 1975.Normally I use PixInsight's batch preprocessing script. But, I wasn't able to get good results with this image using that technique. SO I tried something different. I followed a Light Vortex Astronomy tutorial on Pixinight stacking.

His tutorials are very intuitive and thorough. Anyways, I'm happy with the result.
