Description

I thought the bright, greater Orion Nebula was a good target for my first attempt at producing an LRGB image with narrowband addition.

I found it fairly difficult to pull out a lot of the dust surrounding the nebula due to broadband imaging in Bortle 7 conditions so I chose to emphasise the Ha present in this area instead. The continuum subtracted Ha was added to the LRGB image following Charlie Hagan's Advanced Narrowband Combination Guide https://www.nightphotons.com/guides/advanced-narrowband-combination

As always, all critiques and criticisms are welcome.
