The Orion Nebula (M42)
A re-processed version of the Orion Nebula, incorporating 10 x 45s exposures in order to allow greater definition of the Trapezium in the centre. The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, or M42) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Sword of Orion. Located approximately 1,300 light years from Earth, it is estimated to be 24 light years across and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. This image was captured using a QHY8L camera, attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. The image consists of 10 x 200s and 10 x 45s exposures, stacked and processed using Nebulosity 3 and Photoshop CS6.
