Description

This is my latest rendition of the Great Orion Nebula. This is only 28 minutes worth of data but I am happy with the way it turned out so far. Will be adding more data to it soon and some shorter exposures to bring the tripezium back in.

Description: Here is an improved version of the image (IMO). I spent about 4 and a half hours in Adobe Photoshop this morning re-processing it to try to get the trapezium where it wasn't so blown out. I am very happy with my result. This is one of my best images to date.
