Description

The Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula must be the most imaged nebulas in the night sky. In this project I wanted to get the surrounding dust and gasses that are not normally seen in most wide field Orion Nebula images.

To be able to capture the faint dust and the super bright core and everything in-between I took a set of 3 different exposures to create an HDR image.  The image required using a masked stretch of 300 iterations to be able to compress all the details into a workable image.
