Description

I captured the main data set in 2021 into 2022. 
This comprised the vast majority of the LRGBHa subframes. 
I processed the data after Orion was long gone from view to discover that the core with the Trapezium was totally blown out. 
Unrecoverable. 
So I waited patiently to gather a data set focusing exposures to capture the trapezium. 
In the end, out of 4,000 px square, I used 200px square for the Trapezium. 
But I think it was worth the effort, and the wait.
