The above image of the Sword of Orion is a collaborative project between my friend John Love of Sanger, Texas and myself. John captured the image from his back yard and performed the initial processing consisting of calibration using darks and flats, debayering to color in MaxIm DL Essentials and combining the sub-exposures in Astro-Art. I performed the final processing using CCDStack and Photoshop CS2.
