M42 in Ha & RGB from DSLR - RE-PROCESS

[Dave Smith]

I was not totally happy with my first attempt at doing this so have done a reprocess. Many thanks for all the "likes" and comments - all very helpful.

Here is the first attempt (for reference)

and the reprocess.

I hope you see this as an improvement.

Nice Dave, lovely wispy detail. What did you process in? Did you use DBE or dome kind of sharpening?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for looking and commenting. To sharpen the image I have just used the high pass filter in Photoshop.

If that is new to you have a look at tutorials 2 and 3 here http://astrosnaps.co.uk/tutorials.html
