Description

Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula.
Managed to research combining longer and shorter exposure stacks to show more detail.
2 sets of stacked images, 1 set of 10s exposures at 800-ISO to show detail of core, 1 set of 180s exposures at 800-ISO to show fainter nebula. Initial stacks processed in Pixinsight. Both sets stacked in Affinity Photo using a mask to enable core details to show (trapezium stars) on top of brighter nebula stack. Final tweeks in Affinity Photo.
Merge of 10s and 180s exposures
Altair Astro 60EDF with 1.0x flattener, Canon 7D mk I, Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro, Astroberry, no guiding.
10s - 18x lights, 12x darks,
180s - 14x lights, 6x darks
for both - selection of flats and bias
