200mm lens Orion Complex - now in Technicolour

Given there is likely no RGB coming from me with the 200mm lens, at
least in the near future, I looked for a suitable colour image of
this region that I might be able to use to colour my Halpha.

After searching the web for a colour image of this region, that both
covered my field of view and that I thought was a good colour
bnalance, I remembered Jon Christensens beauty from end of last year -
ah perfect!

I asked Jon if it was ok to use his image for my RGB and he agreed,
here is the result:

I surprised at the clarity and deffinition this non ED circa 1985 lens has achieved

Quite a difficult job in the end and I'm a little dissapointed that I
couldn't maintain the star colours
