Pushed the processing here, the structure stands out, at the cost of a grainy picture, looks great until you zoom in. The light of the half moon can be seen to the right of the image, reduced but I was unable to remove the glow completely. Non the less a pleasing image.

This is a starless image of the Great Orion Nebula (M42) with the reflection nebula Sharpless Sh2-279 the "Running Man Nebula" situated above.
The "little" coma-shaped nebula above and separated from M42 by a dark dust lane is M43 or De Mairan's Nebula.
All form part of the sword region in the magnificent constellation of Orion.
I used Starnet to remove the attendant stars in the image and then concentrated on the nebulae in order to highlight the huge clouds of glowing gases and dusty details within this fascinating region.
M42 is an emission/reflection nebula and this huge cloud of glowing gas and dust is a great stellar nursery where new stars are being born. The pink/red glowing colour is due to the excitation of hydrogen gas and the chief visible emission line appears red to our eyes.
The Running Man Nebula above in contrast shines by reflection. It is visible to our eyes because of illumination from within by embedded stars.
Extensive dust clouds can be seen throughout the image being illuminated to varying degrees.

This is a large nebula in the constellation Orion. It can be seen with binoculars in the middle of the sword (hanging from the belt). It's about 1400 light years away, one of the nearest star forming regions to earth. A compact group of 4 bright stars called the Trapezium is the primary light source for this nebula. The Trapezium is just visible in this image, in the whitest part of the nebula. The red color is light emitted by ionized hydrogen (H-alpha). The blue color is blue light from massive blue stars, reflected by dust grains.

This is a reprocess of my M42/M43/NGC1977 shot from last Saturday night. I wasn't entirely happy with the original process, so I started over. This shot is a labor of love. All told, I'd estimate 20 hours of work went into producing this image.
Taken with a TMB92L, Hutech-modified Canon T3i DSLR, Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, and Celestron AVX mount. Consists of 31 300-second light frames, 25 25-second light frames, and 15 5-second light frames, plus darks, flats, and bias frames. Captured with BackyardEOS, stacked in DeepSkyStacker, and processed in Photoshop.
After a bit of a fraught start last night (accidentally turned of the mount mid slew - it lost it's position and plate solving threw a hissy fit and wouldn't re-synch) I finally came away with this.
Often overlooked because of the proximity of the Orion nebula this is NGC 1977 or the Running Man Nebula in Orion. I love nebula with both reflection (blue) and emission (red) components.

The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of its resemblance to a horse's head.
The Flame Nebula, designated as NGC 2024 and SH2-277 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Orion.
The bright star Alnitak, the easternmost star in the Belt of Orion, shines energetic ultraviolet light into the Flame and this knocks electron away from the great clouds of hydrogen gas that reside there.
The Running Man Nebula Sh2-279 is an HII region and bright nebulae that includes a reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion. It is the northernmost part of the asterism known as Orion's Sword, lying north of the Orion Nebula. The reflection nebula embedded in Sh2-279 is popularly known as the Running Man Nebula.

The nebulae, in the sword of Orion, are the brightest in the northern skies and include the Orion Nebula itself (M42), de Mairan's Nebula (M43) and the Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977). They are 1500 light years away and are visible to the naked eye.
After a long break with no chance for astrophotography I finally was able to get some done on the weekend.
This is the Orion Nebula along with the Running Man Nebula. Found in the constellation of Orion, the Orion Nebula is one of the closest major star forming regions to Earth and one of the most frequently photographed deep space objects.
This image is a combination of 5 shots of 3 minutes each.

The much photographed Orion Nebula (M42) imaged with an astromodded Canon 600D through an unguided Skywatcher ED80 refractor. Image was constructed from stacking of images amounting to approx. 30 minutes of exposure in total.
I'm sure there is a better image that could be achieved with the data obtained, but this is by far the best end result I've achieved with my rudimentary image processing "skills".
Running Man Nebula on the left, Orion Nebula on the right.
Always have to try for this every winter as it's such a gorgeous part of the night sky. This year I used the new BlurXTerminator module for PixInsight. It does a great job of reducing star size while enhancing DSO details. Still fighting star halos but it's improving my images nicely.

Have not been very well lately and unfortunately it is ongoing. So haven't been about.
I did managed to get some imaging done this month (weather has been hopeless as usual - so not helping!)
This is an image of the emission nebula, "The Great Orion Nebula" M42, with the attendant reflection nebula "The Running Man" Sharpless Sh2-279 to the right. Both these beautiful systems are found in the sword area of the magnificent constellation of Orion.
M42 is one of the brightest nebula in our skies, lying at a distance of over 1300 light years. This massive cloud of glowing gas and dust is a stellar nursery and is the closest massive star forming region to earth.
The Running Man Nebula to the right is so-called because many observers liken its appearance to a human running with arms flailing! (you might need to use a bit of imagination!) This is a reflection nebula. This means it is only visible to us because light from an illumination source, such as embedded stars, lights up the surrounding gas and dust.
Extensive dust clouds can be seen throughout the whole image.
Imaged with a Skywatcher Esprit 120ED refractor fitted with a focal reducer (scope at f5.4) and a ZWO 2600MC camera.

This image is another test image for the motion of my equatorial mount, and it is taken at my home.
I checked the star-tracking error mounting a telescope with a heavier and larger moment weight.
The error is relatively larger than the case of my telescope of shorter focal length (epsilon-180ED), and it is better to use a heavier mount for star-tracking stability.
On the other hand, the star image is not so bad.
As shown in the image, the details of the nebula is much sharper than those taken with tele-type lens (EF600 x 1.4) previously.
Due to the influence of light pollution, it was impossible to see clearly the "Running man nebula", which is the unclear blue nebula on left hand side.

Getting new astro gear always summons the clouds, so it took about six weeks to actually get the 400mm pointed skywards. Had some doubts about using such a long focal length on an unguided star tracker, but even with a very approximate polar alignment I could still reliably get 45s exposures, and Orion is, as always, a merciful target.

.... and of course the Running Man nebula... don't you see him running? Just say yes and we'll move on :)
The core of this star-forming nebula is so bright that I took a series of separate 15 sec exposures to try to tame it. The main image is about 3 hours of data stacked from 2 minute individual exposures.
An interesting blurb from nasa.gov regarding the Mayans take on this naked eye nebula:
"The Mayan culture’s likening of the Orion Nebula to a cosmic fire of creation is very apt. The nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas where vast numbers of new stars are being forged. Its bright, central region is the home of four massive, young stars that shape the nebula."

Learned some new techniques to bring out the gasses in my stacked images from 2018. The Running Man nebula is much more visible now. I am happy! 10 30 second 500mm images stacked with Sequator and run through Photoshop and On1 Photo Raw.
I previously imaged the Orion and Running Man Nebulas in November. My exposure was only about an hour. With the new moon last night, I got my gear out and did just shy of three hours on this target.

My mount was polar aligned with SharpCap (what an amazing system for aligning). I'm not comfortable using my SCT as my lens yet. My solution is to piggyback my Sony a7RIII and adapted Nikkor 500mm f/4 P Ai-s on a ADM dovetail rail on the top of my optical tube. I used DeepSkyStacker to combine all frames and then processed the TIFF file in Photoshop. I stretched the 32 bit file and used Gradient XT on the image. I then made it a 16 bit file and stretched in level, then curves. I used the color sampler tool and levels to do my best to keep the background space black. I then using my skillset and relied on Astronomy Tools Action Set, and dodging and burning a bit to give the image the finishing touches.

Here's my second attempt into quarantine astrophotography, building on some of the lessons learned from the first experiment on Andromeda earlier this summer. More lessons learned, and more refinement to come as I eventually search for dimmer and more difficult to find objects. This one is shot on a D850, 200-500mm Nikkor at 500mm, 60 x 20s exposures (plus 20 x 20s dark) for a total exposure time of 20 minutes.
The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) and the Running Man Nebula (NGC 1973, NGC 1975, and NGC 1977) in the Orion constellation. M42 is located approximately 1,300 light years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.

Weather in Northern Ireland remains very unfavourable for astrophotography so I'm grateful for my subscription to Grand Mesa Observatory system 1 scope in Colorado.
This deepscape image shows the Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula setting behind the Hoernli mountain station in Arosa, Switzerland.
Such images tend to raise a lot of skepticism, but this is a real alignment:
Sky and foreground were captured from the same tripod position and during a single night, with the same equipment and at the same focal length. I only shut down the tracking of my mount when Orion Nebula was in the position you see in the image, captured the foreground an recombined sky and foreground in post processing. Check the behind the scenes photo of me capturing this deepscape:
The small field of view due to the long focal length (1000mm full frame equivalent) makes precise planning to find the exact shooting position a must. A small error of a few meters is enough to make the nebula miss the foreground features.
If you want to learn to capture such deepscapes, do not miss my virtual presentation at the 2021 NightScaper Conference. All conference presentations will be available for online viewing for one year.

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.
This image was captured from the garden about two nights ago.
The image depicts Orion Nebula (M42 or Messier 42) and just above the Running Man Nebula (Sh2-279). The final image is composed of 151 images and took some hours to stack.
The Orion Nebula is our closets major star-forming region to Earth estimated at around 1,500 lightyears away and 24 lightyears across.
