This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun. Some are even more massive. These massive stars light up the Orion nebula, which is seen here as the bright region near the center of the image.
To the north of the Orion nebula is a dark filamentary cloud of cold dust and gas, over 5 light-years in length, containing ruby red protostars that jewel the hilt of Orion's sword. These are the newest generation of stars in this stellar nursery, and include the protostar HOPS 68, where Spitzer spotted tiny green crystals in a surrounding cloud of gas.
Another go at the Orion Nebula with my Astro-modded Canon 700d and 77-300mm lens at 300mm. Spent less time fighting the Manchester weather and managed 10x60sec exposures. Might have been a bit ham-fisted with the saturation!
The Orion Nebula (Messier 42) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. It is around 1,300 light-years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.
by Charles Messier in 1764.
Image taken on 8 October 2023.

Adjusted and rotated with Photoshop CS4
Luminance channel of my multiresolution M42 project, the mosaic merge tool still breaks the Trapezium region destroying all the bright details, so work still continues to get the actual LRGB mosaic done this season.
A colony of hot, young stars is stirring up the cosmic scene in this new picture from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
After another night of collimation, the setup is getting closer to a workable state. It's surprising how awake you stay the whole night when temperatures are again in the freezing portion of the scale.
I'm setting up a Teleskop-Service version of Boren-Simon PowerNewt 8 f/2.8. Actual focal length is now 604mm, which makes it an f/3, but still a bit of an improvement from the C8+Crayford+reducer f/7.
The small pixels of the camera in use (Trius SX814) are perhaps a bit too small for the ASA Keller reducer drawing capabilities.
10x 60s with Baader 7nm Ha, no calibration frames used yet.
With the clouds rolling in and covering my main subject I took a quick test-round of M42 just before taking the flats. Clouds covered the whole sky during Ha exposures, but I got three of them anyway. I didn't even have time to frame the subject properly, but this quick jab at this marvellous and hard to properly image target proved fruitful.
Taken with SXVR-H18, C8+reducer, Baader LRGB and narrowband filter-set in Atik EFW2 9x1.25" filterwheel. 5x15s LRGB each, 3x30s Ha.

Edited Spitzer Space Telescope image of the Orion nebula and parts of the Orion's sword. Color/processing variant.

Definately not the best picture ive ever taken,but am still happy that i managed to get a picture of it ,especially as it was taken with a cheap 70-300mm :).

Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula and NGC 1977, the Running Man Nebula. They are reflection nebulas locted in Orion constellation. You can see the Orion Nebula with naked eye, but, with a smaller telescope or with a binocular, you can see the Running Man Nebula too. M42 is about 1270 lightyears far away from Earth. Orion constellation is visible in Winter days.

Edited Spitzer Space Telescope (taken after its coolant ran out) image of the Orion Nebula. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: A colony of hot, young stars is stirring up the cosmic scene in this new picture from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The image shows the Orion nebula, a happening place where stars are born. The young stars dip and peak in brightness due to a variety of reasons. Shifting cold and hot spots on the stars' surfaces cause brightness levels to change, in addition to surrounding disks of lumpy planet-forming material, which can obstruct starlight. Spitzer is keeping tabs on the young stars, providing data on their changing ways.
The hottest stars in the region, called the Trapezium cluster, are bright spots at center right. Radiation and winds from those stars has sculpted and blown away surrounding dust. The densest parts of the cloud appear dark at center left.
This image was taken after Spitzer's liquid coolant ran dry in May 2009, marking the beginning of its "warm" mission. Light from the telescope's remaining infrared channels has been color-coded: 3.6-micron light is blue and 4.5-micron light is orange.

Une autre série de prises avec la grande nébuleuse d'Orion, mais maintenant avec le haut de l'épée et pas le bas. On devine les nébulosités qui accompagnent l'amas du haut de l'épée, la "running man nebula" (nébuleuse de l'homme qui court, NGC 1973, 1975 et 1977)

Nikon D810, 24mmFL at F/5.6, iso 800, 2 minute exposure. Mount is a iOptron Skytracker.
Betelgeuse is the golden colored star upper center. Sirius is the blueish-white star in the lower left corner. Messier 42 "The Great Orion Nebula" is just right of center in the sword of Orion. Just to the lower right of M42 is the star "Rigel".
The plane flying through the shot was a bonus!
