Description

Well, I suppose I'm done with M42 for a while. Probably the most difficult area I've ever processed. And honestly, I'm a little tired of it. lol I'm still not 100% convinced that its right. I have some doubt about my monitor calibration, although it is supposedly calibrated. (it looks different on my phone vs my computer) but I digress I learned a lot about GAME masks and adding Ha into an RGB image thanks to Shawn Neilson's pixel math. This image is a combination of 10 hours of Ha 5 minute subs, 6 hours of Oiii 5 minute subs and 110x30 seconds each of RGB data. I combined the Ha and the Oiii to create and HOO image followed by HDR composition to integrate the RGB data for the trapezium and core. May not be perfect, but I'm calling it done.
