Widefield of M42 - The Great Orion Nebula
A wide field shot of the famous Great Nebula in Orion. An emission/reflection nebula M42 lies at a distance of over 1300 light years and is around 24 light years in diameter.
Also visible is the blue coloured reflection nebula NGC 1977 dubbed the Running Man Nebula. It is so named because the dark area of the nebula resembles the silhouette of someone in a hurry!! NGC 1977 lies at a distance of around 1500 light years.
This image is wider take on my earlier version of this object from November 2014
