Description

A mosaic of six images taken with the 200mm telephoto and the 3nm bandpass filter.  The Orion Nebula is many stops brighter than the background nebula so the challenge was to  not have it core blown while showing some of the fainter whisps.  Used PI mosaic by coordinates app to assemble the six images.  Each image was about 80x60s so a big time investment to make this type of final work!
