I like it. Did you crop a lot? I have this nebula complex on the same setup, but with one difference—the main camera sensor. It's a bit larger, of course.
Very cool! I haven't shot Orion in a long time, and I really want to.
Could you please explain the purpose of shooting in 3 different "combinations" of exposure and gain? I've seen many people do it, but I don't understand why.
The idea was to capture the nebula's core. If you shoot with long exposures all the time, the brighter parts of the nebula will be overexposed and difficult to recover. I didn’t take enough 30-second frames—I should have also taken some 10–15 second shots. Proper processing saved the object.
