The Great Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula
The Great 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. The Running Man Nebula (also known as NGC 1973/5/7) is a reflection nebula 1/2 degree northeast of the Orion Nebula. This image was captured using a QHY8L camera, attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. The image consists of 10 x 300s, 10 x 200s and 25 x 45s exposures, stacked and processed using Nebulosity 3 and Photoshop CS6.
