Description

This region is difficult to capture due to the tremendous dynamic range between the molecular clouds of the background the the bright center of the Orion Nebula.  HDR is an option.  I chose to utilize the extremely low read noise of the ASI6200MM Pro and take a relatively large number of short exposures, 168 1-minute subs in narrowband.  H-alpha is red, Oxygen III is teal, and Sulfur II is white.
