PixInsight Tutorial - Orion Nebula (M42) - Stacking & Processing Workflow

Continuing on with the PixInsight learning curve. This video focuses on M42 - Orion Nebula.

The video shows how to handle the core which can easily be blown out - using different exposure lengths and how to bring them together within PixInsights - HDRComposition & HDRMultiScaleTransform.

Also a first for myself I use PixInsights stacking process of 'Blink' and 'Weighted Batch PreProcessing'.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it, on this fantastic and interesting object!

Blink 2:11
