M42

[steviemac500]

Another M42........my camera has just returned from being repaired and I have never really had a chance to do this target justice as its on the wrong side of the house so I thought why not? This was also the first target that I have used the Pegasus Astro Focus Cube for its entirety - works like a charm!

This is an LRGB HDR image. 54 x 300s in Lum and 18 x 300s in each of RGB. For the core I did 60 x 10s in each. Having never done an HDR image before, I processed each exposure length separately (background modelization and cropping) then combined each exposure in PI. I then did the HDR combine and used HDR multiscale transform for the core - I don't think it's overdone? This was then followed up by usual colour calibration and a spot of TVG denoise. Hope you like it!

Very nice indeed. I think the core looks great, and there's loads of subtle detail in the outer regions.

I agree with Michael - great definition in the core and indeed everywhere.  Very nicely done ?.
