I like the starless version, it makes the nebula looking as you are floating in the sky somewhere closer to it

Clear Skies

Thanks Marco. Yes the focus was progressively getting worse by the end but I wanted to maximise the amount of data I got before sunrise. It's very noisy next to full moon so I coped a fair bit a sky background. I'll definitely revisit it and do it properly as I want to do a mosaic of the whole orion area.

It's like a painting. I really dig that.

Well done!

Thanks H. Yes that was the idea. The starless version has some depth to it.

Thanks Clive. Yes I'll need more data to make them both smoother.
