Return of M42
This image was originally captured from the garden about two years ago. I thought a revisit was due. I believe the number of light were around 151 (same as last time), however I decided to experiment by adding flats and bias frames. This is something I I've really just started doing so still learning... slowly.
The image depicts Orion Nebula (M42 or Messier 42) and just above the Running Man Nebula (Sh2-279). It is either an editing mistake or the settings on the night were close to being spot on that I may have captured the alpha gases in the area of the nebula.
The Orion Nebula is our closets major star-forming region to Earth estimated at around 1,500 lightyears away and 24 lightyears across.
