Description

My latest image of Orion. This is by far the most complicated object that I have imaged and processed so far. In one sense, this is an easy target - bright, easy to find, and well known. But the devil is in the details and the process of keeping from blowing out the core and losing the details is time-consuming and maddening. But I am very happy with the finished result.
