Description

One of the most photographed objects in the sky, the Orion Nebula (M42) is part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. I wanted to bring out the molecular cloud as much as possible so I collected data for almost 3 hours with a RASA 11 and ASI6200 camera. (OSC no filters.) A total of 166 one minute subs at Gain 0 amounts to over 18 Gb of data. It took PixInsight's WBPP script 6 hours to process it. Data collected March 3rd at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Mansfield, GA.
