The Orion Nebula (M42)
This image, taken over 3 nights, shows M42 along with 2 other nebulae, De Mairan’s nebula (M43) and The Running Man nebula (Sh2-279). De Mairan’s nebula is located just off to the centre left of the image, separated from M42 by dark dust lanes. The Running Man nebula can be seen towards the top of the image as an area of blue nebulosity (a reflection nebula), with the ‘Running Man’ as a silhouette in the middle.
