Description: I was not very happy with this year's image of M42 Orion Nebula because of the burned out core, so I decided to reprocess it today using a synthetic luminance channel created after Photometric Color Calibration and SCNR removal of green cast. A lot more background nebulosity was also maintained in this version possibly due to better background extraction with DBE. Local Histogram Equalization was also used to boost the contrast of the nebula. I'm very pleased with the results but will probably image this target again next year to see it better acquiring/processing techniques will improve it even more.
