The Great Orion Nebula.

Well I think so!

With this image I really wanted to crank up the colour. There's so many ways to do this but this is my version.

I'm really liking Louie's tutorials they sure are helping.
Thanks Louie

A very nice M42 photo Justin.

I love the "natural" colours....just the way M42 should look!

How are you going after all your drama's, all mended I hope?

Looking forward to you breaking out the 1100D.

Cheers,

Yes, a really nice image Justin, a nice natural feel to it. The only thing I would suggest is that many of the star cores look a little harsh, possibly a little over deconvolved? The nebula / colour processing is really nice though

Very nice Justin but the stars are a bit over sharpened.

Cheers

Yep played with the stars too much trying to keep them under control.
