This was an exercise to keep me sane while building my new observatory (neeearly finished), not new data but a new image
As I have done with a couple of other data sets lately, this is an LHaOIIIRGB hybrid image combining two data sets from two optical and imaging systems
I aimed to display the entire huge dynamic range, from right inside the trapezium to the outer reaches with the intention of keeping the main nebula looking like it is kind of
floating in the outer much fainter dust and gas against the empty sky behind..?
Full image details are at the links
Orion's Mighty Sword (medium)
Orion's Mighty Sword (Large)
Can't wait to get some new data from the new observatory, hopefully in the next couple of weeks
Cheers
Mike
