The orion nebula is HDR [View all]

M42 the orion nebula. I had to use 3 diffferent exposure times to avoid blowing out whats called the trapezium,the 4 stars in the brightest part of the nebula

I used 50 300seconds exposures,60 60 second ones and 60 10 second ones.
i stacked each exposure length sepreatly then combined them into an HDR before stretching the image to bring out the details
