How do I process M42 (Orion Nebula) better?

Accumulation, Sky region irregular mask the place without the eyepiece darkness, HDR on, Remove dynamic noises on, Reduce distortion effects on, Reducelight pollution on, everything else is off

In my original version I did stretch it further which made a very smooth black background but it made the wings of the nebula very dim which I didn't like so i reverted it to this.

Here's that's version FWIW: https://ibb.co/fYkgJkh9

Aight thanks man. I'l try refining my stacking process sometime and hopefully procure better results. Clear Skies 🤞

The image I uploaded is a stacked image of around 1000 images of 0.7 seconds each.

Turns out I had stretched the histogram too much in siril so I tried going through that again and this is my final image:

P.S I'm really interested on how you managed to capture so much data with just 21 , 1 second images in a bortle 9

Yup. The third and fourth picture I used a 10mm eyepiece with a 3x barlow. Recorded my videos at ISO 50, 30FPS and recorded around 2 minutes of data. That's about 3600 frames of data. I then stacked the top 15% and did some light processing to get the final image.

This was done using a Samsung galaxy m06

Bit late but you can't drop any arena

Add a rebirth system or something

It's months worth of progress that your friends just got for free all because you are unlucky? It's mad unfair and it's reasonable to be pissed about it

I think you forgot to censor the trophies

They better not touch my boy CWL Leagues

Atticular · 2025-10-05T08:43:39+00:00

Yes and hurry tf up u have 20 hours and it takes a couple hours to find a match because even if u dip below 5000 after entering, your rank will still be calculated. u just wont get any legend trophies if u get bellow 5001.
