Dusty Orion - Pushing RGB cam to the edge!

Thanks to previous feedback, especially from Paul about using the Ha to bring out the dust in this classic target. I think I'm going to give this one a rest for a while and move onto other targets but it was fun to spend a few nights getting the data for one image.

I'm pushing the QHY12 One Shot Colour camera to it's limits and this would be much better with a mono cam, but getting narrowband Ha data does improve the image, even with the lossy quantum efficiency of a colour camera!

(1 hr RGB w/ Hyperstar, about 3hrs in 10m exposures in Ha, QHY12 OSC CCD, Celestron 9.25" Edge HD SCT)
