Description

When Orion rises in winter, resistance is futile. My obligatory annual images of M42 show the  progress I have made in image acquisition and processing (my first ones are barely recognizable as astronomical objects!). For this one captured in early 2022, I combined hydrogen-alpha, oxygen III, and sulphur II data from a monochromatic CMOS camera in a modified SHO Hubble palette.  The processing attempts to accentuate the delicate textures and structures of the ionized gases in this vast region.
