hi Ian

I like this a lot. there is some incredible detail in there. You have done a great job blending the dslr and CCD data together. :thumbsup:

Thanks Simon,
:thanx:
Exposures added with the SBig camera were:
M42 – NBLRGB – LRGB +Ha+O3
L:20 X 6min = 120min
Ha:15 x 6min = 90min
O3:18 x 6min = 108min

Blending is quite easy with the NBRGB script in PixInsight.
I think adding data from the SBig ccd camera improved the overall effect of detail on visual perception.

Powerful eye pop, appears like a stained glass artpiece on a window looking through to the night sky. :cool:
