Orion and the Running Man Nebula

The Great Orion Nebula in HaRGB with a total 11hours of exposure time. A really nice bright area of the night sky and common for most imagers for it to be their first target which was also the case for me. I still remember a couple years ago when I randomly got up at 3am and saw this nebula with my own eyes. To the eye you just see a slightly greenish fuzzy thing among lots of bright stars but then I pointed the camera at it and took 100 or so 2 second exposures and after combining those was able to see the details and colours. That was the start of my interest in deep space imaging, so happy to be getting on to this level of detail now with a telescope. This wasn't the best data as Orion was my backup target while other areas had clouds, but I'm happy to get some better results this year than the last and will hopefully get better still next year.
