Description

Here is my latest image of the great Orion Nebula, the nearest star-forming region to Earth at just 1,500 lightyears away. It is one of the most popular targets to shoot, but because it has such a bright core it's a challenge to shoot and edit. To get around this I started by using LRGB filters with normal exposure subs, to enhance broadband color and dust details, and lower exposure subs just for the core. Later I combined these two master sets to create an HDR image.
