Ground based Hubblesque M42 image...whistle

Hi

Here is a composite image of a high resolution Theta 1 Orionis and an M42 wide field image. The (hi res) Trapezium was imaged in B&W using a Celestron C9.25, Televue x5 Powermate and SBIG ST7E ccd camera.

The (wide field) background was provided from an image with the Celestron C9.25 at Prime Focus (F10) with a Pentax *ist DS DSLR. The central region of M42 was cropped from the full frame and resampled upwards to match the image scale of the ST7E detailed image.

The two images were registered, aligned and manipulated using layers in Corel PhotoPaint.

Cheers

Dennis
