Orion nebula

Also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976.

 

 

Yesterday was very significant day for our astronomical association. We had meeting with President of Republic of Croatia. He became our honorary member and he will be patronage for next year Ten days of astronomy in Daruvar. We are so proud about this. It's a great honor.

 

Also we had assembly. It was the occasion for socializing with other astronomers. We were at Petrov vrh, which is at an altitude of 547.00 m. Night was so clear. It was amazing to see so bright sky with so many stars.
