Description

Yes, yes - seems like more of the same. But! This is actually a combination of two previous sets of exposures (8x180 seconds + 18x300 seconds) for a new total exposure of 114 minutes. Again, all 26 exposures were aligned and stacked in Nebulosity 3 and post processed in Photoshop CS6. This time I tried to focus on bringing out the more diffuse gases surrounding the left and bottom portions.

Here's the data used from both previous images:

M42 + NGC1973/5/7

M42

+ 12x 300 second subs

New total = 114 minutes.
