I also changed up my processing flow a bit, re-ordering the steps, to achieve better calibration.  The result is a more neutral color tone in the original, I can then saturate the image to taste for display or printing.  Th original might be a bit closer to true color.  Of course, &#8220;true color&#8221; is a bit of an illusion in astrophotography, where everything is relative.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12764\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12764\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/NGC1976-20140222.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/NGC1976-20140222-600x900.jpg\" alt=\"Orion Nebula\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/NGC1976-20140222-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/NGC1976-20140222.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">M42, The Orion Nebula, Canon 6D and TV-76mm, 16x240s+10x60s+10x15s @ISO6400<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great Nebula of Orion is a beautiful object, the brightest nebulae in the sky.
