I came across some old test data that I forgot I had. I was testing out a quad band narrowband filter and captured 55 120s frames on the Orion Nebula (right) and the Running Man Nebula (left). The original data was out of focus a little and dim so it was difficult to process. I stacked the images and processed the best I could and this is what came out of the wash.

A very quick process of Orion's Belt, showcasing the Orion Nebula, Flame Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Running Man Nebula, M78, and others. Taken with a Canon R5 and 70-200 RF L at 200mm f/2.8.

From left to right: Flame Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Running Man Nebula, and the Orion Nebula. Imaged over several nights with a Canon T7i and Rokinon 135mm 2.8.
I started dabbling with more complex astrophotography this year. I used a Fornax Lightrack II mount and a Canon 7D Mark II to capture the image.

Running Man Nebula using New Processing Method Described in "Modifying Workflow for Color" Post on the Oklahoma City Astronomy Club Forum.
Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula in upper left. The Orion Nebula is a stellar nursery known to many different cultures throughout human history. The nebula is only 1,500 light-years away, making it the closest large star-forming region to Earth. Because of its brightness and prominent location just below Orion’s belt, M42 can be spotted with the naked eye.
Shot with my Seestar S50.
The Running Man Nebula with Enhanced Color reprocessing and base processing with PixInsight using 5.3 hours of data collected in 5 min subimages. This is an image that is reprocessed from the same data as the other 5.3h image of the same name. In this image, the stretching does not cutoff the black edge of the data.

This is 67 minutes of light stacked of Orion's belt and you can see Orion's Belt at the top of the image, with the Orion Nebula in the bottom left and the Running Man Nebula just above that.
However, if you look to the left star of Orion's Belt, called Alnitak, you can see the Flame Nebula and just a little tiny wisp of the Horsehead nebula! Four nebulae for the price of one!
