The Orion Nebula (High Res Mosaic)

Revision title: Crop

On a cold winter night in the beginning of 2020 this area in Orion I got hooked to astrophotography. I remember trying to align the camera on my mobile to my eyepiece, as I wanted to share with everybody, whether they were interested or not, what a spectacular thing I had just seen through my small Newtonian 6”, f4). I’ll upload the “nearly APOD” captured view through the eyepiece as a revision.

Now to this rendition of the target:This project started of as I single pane, not mosaic, of the running man. I then added a part of M42, before I decided to go for the whole thing and added the bottom two panels.

As I have six channels per panel (SHO,RGB) this processing drove me near to insanity, especially because of problems with plate solving in pixinsight and dramatically different gradients in the panels.The data was collected over the course of 16 nights with different moon phases, high clouds, low clouds and everything in between.
I chose to combine classical SHO (SHO->SCNR(green)) with calibrated RGB (SPCC) in a ratio of 1:1.
The stars are pure RGB.

Enjoy and CS!

Robert

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
