Same day (11/24), same place (Blue Ridge Parkway), I wanted so badly to get the first Orion of the season, so I took 16 x 3min = 48min pics with 9 x 20sec and 9 x 5sec for the core. Canon 20Da ISO 1600, Takahashi epsilon 160. Calibrated, aligned, stacked with ImagePlus, enhanced with Photoshop.

Nice work.

How did you get the bright star at the righthand side of the nebula under control? It usually blows out as well. Was that also layered in?

Greg.
