Hi all,
This is my first go at the Orion nebula and I am finding it more difficult than I expected.
I know I need to have shorter subs so that the core isn't blown out - that is a learning for next time.
What I am having issues with is black clipping. Straight after processing in Nebulosity, and before any image enhancements, the black levels seemed to be slammed up against the left side of the histogram.
I persevered with it and have a result but I may have pushed it too far.
Then again, looking at all the M42's on Astrobin, no 2 seem to be alike - colour, depth, detail, shape and size!
This attempt is from 20 x 60 seconds with around 15 darks.
Any suggestions or guidance will be appreciated.
Strange, I found the Horsehead an easier subject to process.
Cheers,
Bruce.
