Description

The Orion nebula always looks like a rosebud to me. 

I watched a few videos today on techniques that can be used to process dark nebula and faint objects. 

This is far from faint but I had a bit of a play around with old data using some of the techniques and processes that were new to me. Namely exponential transformation, local histogram transformation, a different method for stretching and recombining the stars as well as a different order of things. 

This was just going to be a test and it's not a lot of data, in fact I named the file folder 'muck about' Wasn't planning on sharing it but I think it came out ok for a quick process, so thought I would share.
