Description

My first shot at M42, the beautiful Orion Nebula. I started with in LRGB, but quickly migrated over to HaRGB because of the Ha detail. I will likely do a narrowband edition in the future.

For this image: Ha (14x900s), R (16x600s), G (16x600s), B (32x600s).

I typically wouldn't push the saturation as high as I did on the pink, but I liked the contrast with the blue, and it wasn't blowing out any highlights, so I kept it punchy.

As with my other images, PI as the starter, PS for middle relief, and LR as the closer.
