The Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with an apparent magnitude of 4.0. Located just above the Orion Nebula is the Running Man Nebula.
This image was created from images I captured earlier this year but this time I used PixInsight and Lightroom to get the end result. PixInsight is an excellent piece of software but is complicated and an initial steep learning curve got me to this point. I need to try it on some of the other DSO targets I also captured earlier this year.

I hope you like it and thank you for looking at my images.
