Jaw dropping - a stunning result for your efforts. You make it easy to see how these deep space objects got their names - I'm not sure I have ever seen the running man so easy to spot in the scene.

Thanks Alan ! I was hoping to showcase all that cosmic cloud and dust as the 2 main stars usually command all the attention haha !

The Cosmic clouds are what jumped out at me right away. I don't think I have ever seen an image of Orion that so well showed that. The clouds are almost mesmerizing in themselves. Would you say it was the 300s subs that helped with pulling the cloud detail out?

Thanks Jim ! I was hoping that was the case. Yes, def 300s pulled out a lot of that cloud and dust at the expense of the core. Was too lazy to take short exposures for that haha.
