The Great Nebula In Orion (M 42) Blend
Here's an image of M 42 taken with the CHI-1 scope. It's a TON of frames in RGBHSO..271....ranging from 30s to 60s. I just blended the narrowband with the RGB and came up with this. One process in Pixinsight I really like, is the ColorCorrectedHDRMT....it leaves the colors near the Trapezium stars and even shows some nebular structure.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
