Orion Nebula
We had clear skies a couple of evenings ago which allowed me to try and capture the Orion Nebula. Though not visible with the naked eye, the camera recorded some red haze which I had to deal with in post processing. I used my 105mm Sigma Prime, 60 secs tracked, f/2.8, ISO 400. I only used a single image. I still had to crop super heavily and ended up with a 1070 x 713 px image. So that is pretty small. I upsized the image 6x using Topaz Gigapixel using the Redefine AI model. This fills in the missing pixels. From there I created two images, a stars-only image and an image with no stars. Using Affinity photo, I processed each image separately and finally blended them into acceptable resulting image. Comments, tips and suggestion are all welcome
