Description

I have seen many excellent widefield shots, usually with modified DSLRs, and have always wanted to emulate the figure of Orion riding high in the winter months, with detail in his belt, sword, and plaid.

This is my effort with my OSC camera and 28mm SLR lens, comprising RAW data (in built UV/IR filter) and via my Optolong L-eNhance filter. Unfortunately the latter was taken as Orion's feet were dipping into the shrubbery, resulting in a very unsightly gradient in the bottom right of the image.

Each stack was captured and processed in Nebulosity, then layered in Startools to try and capture the RGB stars , and the emission nebulae that adorn this constellation. It is a start...

Title: Cropped image processed in Nebulosity v4

Description: Here is the data (78m total, 120s subs) taken through my L-eNhance tri-band filter. I've taken out my shears and trimmed this image to remove most of the 'shrubbery' from the bottom left. There is still an annoying 'water' spot in the image, but there it is.

I would really like to give this a go again from a better location, without obstruction to try and bring out more of the nebulosity that shrouds the Orion complex.
