New Image: My 2024 Orion Nebula image

#1

Post by jazzin »


Every time I shoot this nebula, I get blown away when I stretch it and boost the saturation in it. This is only 24 - 4 min light frames along with 15 dark frames and 35 flat frames for a total of 2 hours. I was going to do an HaRGB version of it but it looks so damn pretty in RGB I might just leave it like it is.

Telescopes: Celestron 6" Newtonian, Orion 8" Astrograph

Camera: modded Canon T7i, stock Canon T1i

Nice image. I'm curious if the core Trapezium is blown out in your individual subs? Just wondering if any of that could be recovered. The outer parts look spectacular.
Did you use GHS for the stretch or the regular histogram stretch?

Just the regular histogram stretch. I used to use GHS but it has so many parameters to set I quit using it. Plus I'm famaliar with the Histogram Stretch

Nice shot, GHS should handle it OK - I always use the script version in Utilities I find it more intuitive.
Cheers,

Tony.

You should give this video a watch and then try GHS again.
