My Best Orion to Date!

Here is my latest attempt with Orion. 8) Imager-Megrez 90 w f/6.3 FR and DSI-Pro, Guide-WO ZS66-Petzval and DSI-C. 125 x 15 sec subs, applied mask 25 x 5 sec subs in PS CS2 (my first try with applying a mask), added color with "Astronomy Tools". Also took R-G-B...but will "practice" adding R-G-B on a cloudy night (still learning techniques). Let me know what you think...or tips I can learn by. Alan

Alan,
Cool image! I guess you used the 5 sec exposures with a mask to desaturate the core. Looks like you did it pretty smooth. I would be interested to see your RGBs added - I bet you will get a lot more tonal range in object color.
