Excalibur: the Great Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula on Metal, 30" x 30"
The Sword of Orion, Reimagined in Metal
Step into the heart of the cosmos with Excalibur, a breathtaking 30" x 30" ChromaLuxe metal print that captures the Orion Nebula in stunning detail and vibrant color. Printed on white satin aluminum, this piece radiates with depth and clarity, showcasing the swirling pinks, blues, and greens of M42, M43, and NGC 1977 — the legendary Sword of Orion.
This isn’t just a photograph — it’s a portal to the stars, crafted with archival-quality materials that resist fading, scratching, and glare. The ChromaLuxe process ensures every filament of gas and dust is rendered with precision, making this a true statement piece for any room.
Excalibur commands attention while harmonizing with its surroundings. Whether you're a seasoned astrophotographer, a lover of space, or someone seeking a bold and meaningful centerpiece, this print delivers both scientific wonder and artistic elegance.
Technically speaking, the image represents 3 hours of exposures taken with specialized filters that capture both broadband (the colors we naturally see) and narrowband (areas of the spectrum that are signatures of radiation emitted by the distant nebulae). Instead of blending the broadband and narrowband data as is fairly common in astrophotography, this image represents pure broadband or visible colors in the upper left and pure narrowband and emission colors mapped using a "Hubble" palette in the lower right. The transition is both subtle and fluid.
