Description

This is my past work on M42 and M43 (probably the second time using PixInsight) , data collected using Epsilon-180ED and ASI6200mmpro in Chile, February 2021. I was totally new to  astro-photography at that time, not mentioning the proper exposure time for different target and filters, which result in the overexposure around the core M42. However, enhancing the Lum channel with Ha brought me surprising result, and following mistake, in which I used LRGB combination under linear stage gave me the pink color.   Those mistakes and imperfect pre-and-post process contributed to the unique result, and I really satisfy with it.
