Description

Orion nebula in two exposure sets of LRGB with Ha added. I actually shot three sets of LRGB, but opted to use the longest and shortest in order to reveal the trapezium. The two were combined in PixInsight and finished in PhotoShop. My first attempt at this and the processing was more time consuming and challenging than others, but well worth it. What a beautiful object.
