Description

The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula in the constellation of Orion. Roughly 1500 light-years away and about 22 light-years across the Orion Nebula is visible to the naked eye.

Imaged over two nights doing short subs to try and preserve as much dynamic range as possible it took 355x45 second images and a while to integrate this in PixInsight.
