Description

JanD provided this excellent data he obtained during his stay in Athos, La Palma and made the integrated stacks public. I took a go at it as I have never edited M42 before and wanted to see how I cope with the difficulties of getting the core not overexposed. You can find the original here.

Basically I color calibrated the stack in AstroPixelProcessor. Saved three different stretches plus the 25s stack as separate tiff and merged them in Photoshop with HDR Pro. The rest was my standard Photoshop workflow, denoise, camera raw filter adjustments, high pass sharpening, a bit unsharp mask, less crunchy - more fuzzy.

Hope you like it!
