A fierce man who captured the 'Orion Nebula' taken over 5 years in one photo has appeared, and super high resolution & super beautiful photos are being released



The nebula located below the center of the

three stars in the constellation Orion , which stands out even in the clear winter night sky, is one of the brightest nebulae that can be seen with the naked eye , the 'Orion Nebula '. Astrophotographer Matt Harbison, who has been shooting the Orion Nebula for over five years, has combined his photographs into one to complete an ultra-high-resolution photo of 2.5 billion pixels.

Harbison has taken 2508 photos for over five years with the QHY 16200 CCD, an astrophotography camera equipped with a 16.2 megapixel KAF-16200 image sensor that costs about $ 4,800.



It took more than 500 hours to edit all the photos using SequenceGenerator Pro, PHD2 Guiding, Pixinsight, Astro Pixel Processor, and Adobe Photoshop to combine them into one. When the first image processing was performed around the spring of 2020, it could not be processed due to a problem with the PC specifications, so Mr. Harbison renewed a PC equipped with a

24-core 'Ryzen Threadripper' and 256GB of memory in August 2020. Purchased at and revenge for image processing. We spent a total of 42 hours, 23 hours for locating photos and 19 hours for combining, creating a single ultra-high quality image.



Mr. Harbison's enthusiasm for the Orion Nebula is that 'the symmetry of the constellation Orion is the origin.' 'I saw the symmetry of Orion at an early age with the rustling of leaves in a camp with my parents and grandparents, and through a small telescope in a Boy Scout camp. The first time I saw Orion through the

Dobsonian telescope. I was impressed by the color of the nebula. The constellation Orion was faintly floating above the school road to the university, and I always felt like I was being guided. A big decision made in my life. I think Orion was involved in my consciousness in the events and events, 'Commented Harbison.
