M42-2
M 42 with canon eos 1100d fullspectrum, canon 75/300 lens at 300m f 5/6, iso 800, 40x60s, 13 dark, 13 bias, acquisition with APT sum with sequator and processing with Photoshop, help of the Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i wifi The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42 or M 42, NGC 1976) is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the night sky. Clearly recognizable to the naked eye as an object of non-stellar nature, it is located south of the famous asterism of Orion's Belt at the center of the so-called Sword of Orion, in the constellation of the same name.
Located at a distance of about 1500 light-years from Earth, it extends for about 24 light-years and is the closest star-forming region to the Solar System. Old publications refer to this nebula with the name of Great Nebula, while more anciently the astrological texts reported the same name of the star Eta Orionis, Ensis (the sword), which however is located in another part of the constellation. It is one of the most photographed and studied objects of the sky, and is under constant control due to the celestial phenomena that take place inside it; Astronomers have discovered protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs and intense movements of gas and dust in its innermost regions.
The Orion Nebula contains a very young open cluster known as the Trapezium. [
