Description

This is an image that I processed using data acquired on 12-25-18. On this night I had a lot of meteor streaks in my light frames. This happens a lot when imaging the Orion Nebula. Normally if I have enough light frames I just discard the ones with meteor streaks. If I don't have enough light frames then I process the image and remove the meteor streaks. On this image I used all of my light frames and concentrated on trying to preserve the meteor streaks. This is the first image of the Orion nebula that I've processed intentionally showing the meteor streaks. Please enjoy.
