Thanks Werner!! It really is another gem in the Orion complex that's often underrated IMO. Like the others as well and M42 in particular, it's a challenge to process because of the diversity of subtle colouring.

Overall details and reflection neb colours are well defined. Thoroughly enjoyed it.  |
Thanks a lot Jase - glad you enjoyed it!! I'm not sure about the background either (mainly bottom right quadrant?) but decided not to mess with it any further without more data. Suspecting some gross scale colour blotching. There aren't many deep examples around to compare with either.

Shrinking the full size view to 50% fits it perfectly on my 22" screen and then the image looks great, with the resolution looking more betterer
A very nice and interesting view Marcus.

Cheers mate! I understand what you're saying but I reeeeeally don't mind if the full res shows up flaws! Overall aesthetics aside, I always like to see others post full res (and am dissappointed when they don't) so I can better appreciate the nuance of detail in the object AND the skill of processing. Besides, it gives you something to critique
