Description

This was my second attempt at an HDR image of the Orion nebula. Unlike my earlier try, I used a better camera and my new refractor to produce a higher resolution image. Again a series of 10, 30, 90, and 180 second exposures were stacked and processed. Then the four resultant images were combined using the HDRcomposition process and then the HDRmultiscale transform to compress the resultant image into an intensity range that can be conveniently viewed.
