Description

Messier 42 (M42), one of the most famous winter target for every astrophotographer, so called Orion Nebula, is an emission-reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion. With an apparent magnitude of 4.0, the Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the sky and is visible to the naked eye. It lies at a distance of 1,344 light years from Earth and is the nearest stellar nursery to Earth. The nebula has the designation NGC 1976 in the New General Catalogue. 

This image is a easy combination  of my narrow band data of Panel 5, where in PixelMath R=SII, G=Ha, B=OIII and all stars are replaced with RGB one.

Note: This is not a result of linear combination as usual. Each channel is processed to non-linear status with SXT/ArcSin/GHS/HDR...etc. before combined in PixelMath.

Integration Info:
1.Ha : 26x300sec
2.Oiii: 16x180s+15x300sec
3.Sii :  34x300sec4.RGB: 3x30x60sec

Overall:  About 12h. Dates: P5 Jan 1st, 19th / Feb 7/8/9/10 

Location of Remote Observatory:  Daocheng Obs, Sichuan,China
