[APML] One more image of Orion Nebula



 
Hello All,
 I wanted to get some feedback on my latest M42 image. I kept last years image on my web page so you could see the difference between the two.
 
First I would like to thank Tom Diana and Jerry Lodriguss for there great process articles. Tom for his
"Correcting for Vignetting" and Jerry for his version of "Real Digital Unsharp Masking" and "Combining Two Different Exposures" techniques.
My sky conditions were poor the night I took this image. (lots of car lights off the snow covered ground and house)
I performed the following steps on this image:
 
1. corrected Vignetting (using Tom's technique)
2. adjusted the 30 minute and 45 minute in PS
3. stacked the two images using PW
4. performed SGBNR
5. adjusted image in PS
6. masked in the core area with the 7 minute exposure using PS (Jerry's Combining technique)
7. Performed Unsharp masking (Jerry's Unsharp technique)

If anyone is interested I could put the raw scans on my web page.
 
Thanks, Joe Schaefer
