About this image

This was an experiment to combine narrowband and broadband data plus the challenge of processing this image and bring out some finer detail without over exposing Alnitak.  At 7 hours it’s the longest integration time I have done so far from my Bortle 8 skies.  Processed in Astro Pixel Processor.
