Description

Crop from a 4-panel mosaic of M42 and neighbors, rendered in HaLRGB palette.

Each panel consisted of 15 mins each of:
30s each L and Ha subs
60s each of R, G and B subs

There were a lot of objectives I was trying to satisfy with this image:
  1. Keep the trapezium stars visible while not blowing out any nebulosity
  2. Show the reds of Ha emission in Orion while retaining the reflection nature elsewhere
  3. Keep the star in M43 visible without having nebulosity washed out
  4. Show a bit of the greens and oranges that are seen when viewed with naked eye

*I think* I have hit on those objectives but, taking a step back, I probably feel as though there's some color cast too. Not sure if it's just me or it's something I need to rectify.

Anyways, I doubt this will be the last time I will be processing this data.

Clear skies!
