Running Man nebula

This is the Running Man, a beautiful refection nebula that lies just a half degree to the north of the M42, the Orion Nebula. The field of view of my imaging has allowed it be captured in isolation from the much brighter M42.

As this object has a lot of signal, I found that I could capture it with a small number of exposures.
