Description

I was blown away by how much detail can be seen of the Orion Nebula in narrowband, especially with such a short integration time! I personally like the colors to be as faithful to broadband as I can get it, so here Ha=red, SII=red, OIII=blue/green (still playing with the ratios). You lose the contrast between the Ha and SII, but I don't mind as there's plenty to see otherwise. Though I can't un-see what appears to be a skull in the middle top of the image.
I'm happy to have captured the trapezium in this image, which I guess is due to the nice dynamic range of the 16 bit SX Trius-814, even with 5min exposures.
