All,
Oh, boy. Am I excited about this.
This is a test image, which has been pushed quite a bit, but, there's enough signal there to handle it.
It is a four-panel mosaic, thus far, of the glorious Horsehead Nebula (B33/NGC2023) and the Orion Nebula (M42) region.
There are a lot of errors in this image, which you most likely won't pick up as it's quite downsampled. The original image is close to 8,000 pixels in width and 5,000 pixels in height.
Clearly, the Orion Nebula's core is blown; I will need to take much shorter exposures to bring detail back into the core of M42.
So far, this is 25 hours of hydrogen alpha data that I've captured over the last few months.
Looking forward to capturing more data, and, to finally presenting colour, in a few months time.

Oh, and, yeah -- this hasn't even made it to Photoshop, yet -- this is all just in PixInsight.
Thanks for looking!
