Oh yes! Now then, tell all. How did you work this particular bit of magic on Alnitak? Brilliant separation. It is apparently a triple so you can't be far from resolving the lot.

Nice work, could do with some darks though.

Thanks Guys

Olly when I first processed this image alnitak looked like a white blob I read up on Maxim and found I had to de bloom each image before stacking so I did and thats it altinak stayed nice and small after calibration I then used the Digital Development tool in Maxim set it to Auto and hit the Button after that I took it into PS and did the normal curves and levels

I only had 3 darks and plan to do some more tonight as the clouds are here might aswell do something usefull also want to see if more darks make the dark dashes disapear

Lovely shot and great job on Alnitak. I like the tendrils of Ha above Alintak.
