Departing by way of Orion
Well - my last night on the big scope. Here's the last shot I got - the Orion Nebula - M42. Yeah, Yeah - the compulsory target for every novice astrophotographer . . . OK - I'm outta here!

Did your processing use some HDR techniques to keep the central area around the Trapezium from being over exposed or did you just use curves or levels?
BTW - really cool image.
Thanks Jim. Yes - HDR. The trapizium was a 5 second exposure, the inner core was a thirty second exposure and the outer nebula was a 5 minute exposure. Its all in the wrist! :-)
You're just brilliant Dave! This is incredible!!
Happy New Year!
