We've seen some great widefield shots of Orion that look outstanding. I thought I'd pop the hood and get a closer look at the machine that drives one of the best looking nebula in the sky. I used HA SII and OIII filters but tried to keep the color closer to a RGB image.
C8 @6.3 EM200
ST2k HaSII mapped red OIII for green and blue and a Ha OIII mix for a Hbeta layer.
Thanx fo lookin

Wow, what an unusual image. It really shows up the Trapezium well.
