Description

From my home location it is not possible to image M42 (I only have about a 30 minute window.  This is a combination of Ha taken with a 16MP Moravian G3 16200 from a remote location and older RGB data taken in 2008 using a much lower resolution SXV-H9 (Bin2 mode).

There was some bright blue star halos as the original scope was a semi-APO.  Needed lost of prep work in WBPP including Custom groups and modification of the source frame orientation.

Rather pleased with the final result though.
