The Running Man
The Running Man Nebula has been imaged at 2032mm focal length through an 8" SCT, using a full spectrum modded and cooled DSLR.
The image consists of the best subs exposed at ISO1600 for a total time of 2 hours and 54 minutes.
This Nebula designation is "Sh2-279" (alternatively S279 or Sharpless 279) and comprises three NGC nebulae, NGC 1973, NGC 1975, and NGC 1977 that are divided by darker nebulous regions. It also includes the open cluster NGC 1981. The brightest nebulosity is NGC 1977.
The Running Man Nebula is a HII region and bright nebulae that includes a reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion. It is the northernmost part of the asterism known as Orion's Sword, lying 0.6° north of the Orion Nebula.
