The Great Orion Nebula and Orion's Sword
This sideways look at Orion's sword is my first look this year at M42, M43 and touches of the Running Man nebula region on the far right of this image. Taken through a Hydrogen Alpha filter this is 10x2minutes subs at 1x1 binning, to avoid blowing out the core. Unfortunately the end of astronomical twilight came too soon for me to gather more subs on this occasion in the early hours of 8 September!
