Description

After re-imaging my blue channel to shorter sub length exposures I was satisfactorily able to edit this image without Alnitak driving me insane. It was super challenging to control that beast of a star, but I think I finally got it. I absolutely love the detail in the Ha where the streamers of hydrogen are flowing up from the bulk of the nebula.This was one of my main objectives of this object was to capture the detail in the streamers. I waiting for years to image this particular area, and now I think I can check it off my list!!


Thanks for looking
