I took 4 exposures at 30 seconds each and stacked them in Nebulosity and did a final tweak in Topaz.

Wow! You make it sound so easy. Did you have a special tracking tripod head? A fast telephoto? Stunning photo!

It is a tedious process, but once you get used to the routine then you get lucky. I used a Celestron C8 Edge HD (2,000mm) on a Celestron AVX Equatorial tracking mount and a Canon 5Ds camera.
The colors aren't true to the object, but this is how I processed them. The Orion Nebula is somewhere around 1,600 light years away, thats 1,600 times approximately 6 trillion miles so I like to say this is a long shot.

Wow! That is certainly a real dazzler! I'm guessing that if the exposure wasn't quite as long, the awesome colors wouldn't show up...?

I'm thinking your "long shot" paid off big. Very cool.
