Description

After biblical times due to continuous bad weather, here is my tribute to Orion's belt and the Pyramids of Giza. The three-stars pyramids from right to left: Alnitak-Khufu, Alnilam-Kefren and Mintaka-Menkaura. Image taken with Takahashi FSQ106EDXIII f /3,6 and SBIG CCD STL11000. Processing LHRGB. H 11x900sec (11 shots dead due to clouds); RGB 6x600sec unfortunately taken from the terrace of the garden of my house (3 dead cause unmanageable gradients); L 12x900sec from the Agriturismo "Torre Doganiera" ... perfect! Processing PixInsight + PS CS5. Necessary to mention and warmly thank Francesco Di Biase for his valuable collaboration to the success of the image. With his expertise in the use of mind-blowing PixInsight he has been very fundamental in optimizing the files L, H and RGB in pre-processing.
