This dusty reflection nebula is found very close to the Great Nebula in Orion. Bright young stars illuminate the dust with an ethereal blue light, whilst in the background, Hydrogen gases emit a deep red glow. The nickname "The Running Man" comes from the nebula's appearance through a telescope eyepiece.

Great Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula. Nikon D750 through an 80mm refractor, 60 x 4 min exposures
Photo taken with a Canon T3i (@500mm) piggy-back on top of Celestron EdgeHD 8" scope mounted on CGEM. Filters include Astrodon Inside replacement filter for the original Canon IR filter. Unfortunately, as I was preparing to shoot for the evening, I realized my NexGuide autoguider was running out of battery and I had no replacements. The outcome were images taken without the aid of an autoguider. Depending soley the mount for tracking, I had enough stable images that I could stack six or so two minute images for this final image. All comments appreciated.

The Great Orion Nebula, a giant interstellar cloud of gas and dust, is the closest region of massive star formation to us, at a distance of 1,300 light years. It is a small part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The nebula is a vast stellar nursery 24 light years across, where new stars are being born.
Observations have revealed about 700 stars in various stages of formation. The Hubble Space Telescope recently discovered over 150 protoplanetary disks within the Orion Nebula. These disks are considered to be newborn stars in the earliest stage of solar system formation.
The red/pink hue is a result of H-alpha emission from ionized hydrogen, and the blue is caused by reflected radiation from massive type O stars. The young Trapezium Cluster, visible at the core of the nebula, is responsible for the illumination (and future destruction by photoevaporation) of the cloud.

We captured the Great Orion nebula (M42 or NGC 1976) on February 22, 2021. This 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. We also captured the nearby companion nebulae M43 and Running Man nebula (NGC 1977) in the same frame. In this image, we cropped out the relatively faint Running Man nebula to highlight M42 and M43.
The Great Orion nebula is ~1,350 light-years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. This nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features.
The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks and brown dwarfs within the nebula, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.
We captured our image using a Stellarvue Access 80mm refractor fitted with a Stellarvue Field flattener and a dual NB (Narrow Band) filter for capturing deep red H-Alpha and blue/green OIII emissions. The imaging camera was an H-Alpha modded Nikon D5300 at ISO 1600. Exposure details were - f7 and a total exposure time of 207 min (103x 2.01 min). We separated the mono HA and mono OIII files in APP (Astro Pixel Processor), reduced gradients in each mono file and then recombined them in APP and post-processed in StarTools to get this image. Enjoy!

It took three drawings to cover Orion's sword. The area is ripe with fascinating deep sky objects. The difficulty, is forcing one's self away from the Great Orion Nebula which is positioned in the middle of the sword. I am always surprised that many think the Running Man Nebula (just north of the Great Orion Nebula) is only a photographic target. However, even under suburban skies I can get hints of it, even without the use of nebula filters. With nebula filters, the extent of the nebula grows in the eyepiece. The visual view will never compare with the photographs of this marvelous nebula, but it should not be overlooked by those of us that still look directly through the telescope.

Imagine for just a moment that you have traveled through space for many years to reach your current destination, NGC 1977, the Running Man Nebula. Your space ship has come to a stop and you are now taking this all in through the large picture window positioned on the side of the spacecraft. This recently captured image through my 16” telescope gives you an idea of what you would be experiencing. You decide to put on your spacesuit and float outside the spacecraft. You are now immersed in the beauty that surrounds you. Directly in front of you, toward the center of this cavelike cloud, is the large B type star responsible for all the activity in the region, 42 Orionis. The radiation given off by this massive blue star is ionizing much of the gas around you, resulting in a kaleidoscope of colors. It is also carving away the gas clouds, creating the cavern in front of you. Your eyes drift lower and you notice two yellow streaks and several red ones on the lower right. These are Herbig-Haro objects and Protostars. Jets of hot plasma that are flowing out of newly forming stars. We are seeing the creation process occurring right before our eyes! There are about 200 of these protostars and accompanying planetary systems in this region. Time passes as you take in all this beauty, as you would a glorious sunset back on earth! Thankfully, you have a special suit that is protecting you from all this intense radiation! (I should mention that this suit has not yet been designed here on earth, but you had a lot of time on your trip to figure it out :-). How much time you might ask?
Well, NGC 1977, which is located just at the tip of Orion’s Sword, in the constellation Orion, is 1500 light years away. Each light year is about 6 trillion miles-the distance light would travel in one year (6,000,000,000,000)). At the current speed of our fastest spaceships, we could travel one light-year in about 25,000 years. So, after doing the math, we realize that our little trip to Orion has taken us 37,500,000 years!!! Thank goodness the food was good on the trip and they had some great inflight movies!! If we had been traveling at the speed of light, which takes us around the earth about 7.5 times every second, it still would have taken us 1500 years to reach this beautiful sea of clouds, dust, gas and stars! Space is big, but the payoffs are spectacular!
Takeaway from this thought experiment…do most of your space travel via a telescope and some imagination!
Perhaps that is what the greek astronomer Ptolemy meant, back in 150 AD, when he expressed these feelings. He didn’t have a telescope, just an imagination…
“Mortal as I am, I know that I am born for a day. . .But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the earth.”
(Footnote: Some of the smaller stars have been removed from the image in order to bring attention to the nebulosity and protostars)

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 0.6° north of the Orion Nebula. The reflection nebula embedded in Sh2-279 is popularly known as the Running Man Nebula.
The Orion Nebula M42, Friday 20 December, about 1300 Light Years away, with its attendant Running Man Nebula - An unexpected Clear night but I was busy being a Taxi Service, so I quickly set up my Smart Scope, the Seestar and Imaged. Just over an hour of 10 Second images in Mosaic Mode, and finished off with a new to me Specialist Astro Processing software, Pixinsight. Final touches in Lightroom.
Taken at home, so a lot of light pollution, but you can also see the Running Man Nebula underneath it.

NGC 1973/5/7 is a reflection nebula 1/2 degree northeast of the Orion Nebula. The three NGC objects are divided by darker regions. It is also called The Running Man Nebula and Sharpless Catalog 279.
This object was named 'The Running Man Nebula' by Texas Astronomical Society member Jason Ware. Approximately 20 years ago his down stairs neighbor looked at the object and said it looked like a running man. He brought this up a TAS club meeting and the name stuck. Now widely accepted as 'The Running Man'."

Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula, is the biggest, brightest, nebula visible in the Northern Hemisphere. It can be seen with the naked eye, dangling from Orion's belt.
The red parts of the nebula are hydrogen which has been excited--like a fluorescent light--by hot, young stars, and particularly by the 4 stars known as the Trapezium. It is hard to make out the Trapezium in this picture because I have optimized the picture to make visible the gargantuan gas and dust clouds surrounding the nebula. I will soon post a second picture which optimizes the Trapezium.
The blue parts of the Orion Nebula are caused by reflections of hot blue stars off the interstellar dust and gas.
To the left of the Orion Nebula is a second nebula known as the Running Man Nebula, NGC 1977. You will note that it is entirely blue; it is a reflection nebula.
The Orion and Running Man nebulas are on he order of 2000 light years distant in our Milky Way Galaxy.
