Dave came over today and gave me the raw files of his wide field Orion DSLR shot, to work with
Not having worked with DSLR files it was a little different but a little fiddling got me there I think?
I'm not 100% happy with the look of the stars particularly the three brightest stars but they suffered from a little chromatic aberation and the field is not flat either but I think I have managed to extract most of the vast spread of smokey faint dust and gas that is all over the field and preserve the floating in space look..?
With three or four times the exposure this could be a pretty impressive field
NB* The detail in the main nebula core was provided by a previous long FL shot taken by me with an ED80 and SXVH9 - coregistered in Astroart and layered/blended in.
