Falls of Orion
I have previously uploaded parts of this image, I've decided it's high time to stop tinkering with the data and reveal the full field.
While M42 is the perennial favourite, particularly for wide field imagers, it's not often revealed with truly high resolution, which I hope I've broken some new ground on here.
Personally it's one of the best images I've done in a while....
The link is here

Magnificent Peter, truly a sight to behold that one. Best I've seen.
One of the best IIS has had posted this year I'd say
You should be patting yourself on the back with that one.

I think I finally got then colours dead-nuts on.....with sooo many variations on the net I used the AAO image as the standard to follow.

Thanks. I could have used my FSQ, but think the Alluna gives a more interesting view.

Ta. The full 4k .tif data actually hints at some of the dark globs seem in the Hubble M42 image (which still makes my data look like it was done with crayons )
but I'm stuff pretty chuffed to see I'd caught many details in the ESO/Hubble data.

Keeper, you say I should think so that is just brilliant, and as said already I too have never seen so much detail in a M42 capture, beautiful image Peter.

This is very reminiscent of an image Rolf posted a while back, albeit wider and with an edge on contrast so very well done
My only gripe is that there are too many damn stars around the Trap to figure out which his which

While the web version I've uploaded doesn't really show the fine details in the 4k original...I'm happy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rolf, who's work is simply awesome IMHO.

Ta Marc. I guess the details come down to the fact the Alluna can deliver 5 micron spot sizes (but only in orbit )
however imaging pretty much at sea level, I'm never going to see that. (the mind boggles how this puppy would perform in a high Chilean desert)
Even so, on sub 2 arc sec seeing nights the data
doesn't need any fancy processing, it pretty much just needs calibration and scaling
which I guess is the really remarkable bit.

Very smooth & colourful Peter.
Something not quite right with the core though, looks a bit flat & a tad muddy, like it's been burnt in too much?
Lovely image regardless
