Description

My first quick-and-dirty treatment of Orion’s Sword with my 110mm apo and modified Nikon D5300. Shot with a mix of ISOs for dynamic range. Had to sacrifice some surrounding/connecting nebulosity for contrast/SNR. Will revisit with lots more integration time in coming months.

I haven’t found a way to push the blues to reveal the O3 signal that looks so beautiful in narrow band. Any and all processing tips would be much appreciated.
