More information on how I process images is here. If some images look a little dark, then please turn up the brightness on your monitor. The colour images require a 24-bit colour display to be seen to their best effect. The images are presented in reverse chronological order - the oldest images are last, with the newest ones added at the top of the list. I think that my earliest images stand up well against many that I've seen, although the critical observer should note a general trend of improving image quality as time progresses.
Colour differences represent chemical differences in the nebula.
The stars appear blue as they are dimmed through the narrow band interference filters and bright through the broader band of the B filter. A 12-part mosaic to show most of the Orion nebula, shown at half scale. Done through a H-alpha filter so that I could see the fainter parts without saturating the bright stars too much. 4 minute exposures, assembled with my mosaic software. The small stars and wide field give the image a more photographic quality, I think.
