Description

A complete reworking of my earlier "Sword of Orion" image using the Ha channel for luminance. While I'm not really keen on this type of processing due to the blue halos it produces where stars are against red backdrops, I like how it brings out the detail of the hydrogen clouds.

Full resolution viewing is recommended.
