M42 and Running Man

A highlight of the winter sky, the bright core of the Orion Nebula has always been a favorite of mine for backyard observation. Astrophotography reveals a much broader, complicated and colorful structure, and my wide shot also captured the companion Running Man Nebula.

We're teaching Urban Astrophotography 102: Deep Sky starting December 2nd at New York City's Amateur Astronomers Association. Details for the 6 session Zoom course can be found here
