Testing the Altair Quad Band Filter with the Orion Nebula

[@capturethephotons2078]

Negative contrast helps to bring out the nebulae around the DSO. I am not a big fan of pushing the blackpoint to get a "darker sky." The image right before the final image is more my taste of editing, minus the washed look of the light pollution.
Awesome demonstration!!
Clear skies ✨️

Thanks. I go back and forth on these things. I appreciate your feedback.

Very good work!

Add another few hours of data and it’ll be something really nice! Also once you went to photoshop you clipped the blacks and went too dark on the sky. This isn’t an opinion thing either if you check for clipping you definitely will see you clipped a lot of the blacks. Maybe go a little more gentle on that portion next time 👍🏼

I processed it exactly the way I wanted to.

[@robj144]

Nice, but you clipped a lot of dust there.

[@StephenRahn]

Which is exactly what I wanted to do here.

[@robj144]

@@StephenRahn Why? You had quite a bit of dust that wasn't too noisy before processing.

@@robj144 For this version I wanted to have a cleaner version. I’ve got others with lots of dust.
