M42 LSIIHaOIII Mosaic


M42 LSIIHaOIII Mosaic

This is the Great Orion Nebula in Narrowband Hubble Pallet. This was the last project I did with my ZWO filters. It is a two panel mosaic, but there is a third panel. I could not processes an image that big with my computer. The image used 2X drizzle so that even with just two panels the image is 104 Mpixels. This was done in SHO with a super luminance. I also use the new localnormalization on Pixinsight.
