Orion + Running Man Nebula, ZS66 @ f/3.6, ASI290MM + Optolong 7nm Halpha, stack 50x5sec, waning gibbous Moon nearby, no dark frame

I took an image for the Orion nebula and the Running Man nebula, with the long exposure of RGB, and added hydrogen aloha and sulfur ii in the red channel (as naturally where they belong) and added the OIII between green and blue to show the most realistic detailed image as possible with saturated gasses, I also focused on bringing out all of the integrated flux nebulas and dark nebula giving with a low exposure Orion core show an entire dynamic field of view without any exaggerations and tried to ensure to have graduated lighting around the frame with good contrast.

The Great Orion Nebula (lower) is one of the few visible to the naked eye. It is so bright that I only needed 100 minutes of exposure to capture this on a color CCD. It is 24 ly across, and about 1350 ly distant. Set above it is the Running Man Nebula.

Orion Nebula, Running Man Nebula, Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula, also got a blurry M78 at upper left corner.

Sh2-279 (alternatively designated S279 or Sharpless 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.

Sh2-279 comprises three NGC nebulae, NGC 1973, NGC 1975, and NGC 1977, that are divided by darker nebulous regions. It also includes the open cluster NGC 1981. The brightest nebulosity, later listed as NGC 1977, was discovered by William Herschel in 1786. He catalogued it as "H V 30" and described "!! 42 Orionis and neb[ula]". The two smaller reflection nebulae were first noted by German astronomer Heinrich Louis d'Arrest, NGC 1973 in 1862 and NGC 1975 in 1864. All three were included in the New General Catalogue in 1888. The designation NGC 1977 is used in various sources for the reflection area around 42 Orionis (the south-east portion of the reflection nebula), for the entire reflection nebula (including NGC 1973 and NGC 1975), or for the whole nebula complex.

This whole region in Orion's Sword was also later catalogued as Orion 1c. In 1966, van den Bergh distinguished the weak clustering of reflection nebulae that includes Sh2-279 as Ori R2. Every reflection nebula appearing within the Sharpless catalogue was first identified on blue plates of the Palomar Sky Survey, and then double checked against the red plates to eliminate possible plate faults. Van den Berg found that there was a strong concentration of new T Tauri stars around the Orion Nebula, tapering off into a tail approaching Sh2-279.

The Running Man Nebula is a popular target for amateur astrophotographers, as it lies close to the Orion Nebula and has many nearby guide stars. The outline of the running man shows up primarily in photographs; it is difficult to perceive visually through telescopes, though the reflection nebula itself is visible in small to medium apertures in dark skies.

This area in the Orion constellation is probably the most photographed patch of the winter sky.

 

The bright Orion Nebula (M42, center of the image) can be seen with the naked eye even in moderately light polluted areas. Above M42 is the well-named Running Man Nebula, consisting of a number of reflection nebulae around hot stars that outline an illusion of a running person.

 

Optics: 72mm F/6 apochromatic refractor, reduced to F/4.8.

 

Exposure: only 24 minutes in 12 2-minute subexposures.

This beautiful grouping of Reflection Nebulae (NGC 1977, NGC 1975, and NGC 1973) is often overlooked in favor of the substantial stellar nursery which lies about a half degree to the south, the Orion Nebula. William Herschel discovered NGC 1977 (southern section) in 1786, while Heinrich Louis d'Arrest first noted the two smaller regions NGC 1973 and NGC 1975 in 1862 and 1864, respectively. This nebula is also called "The Running Man Nebula" and Sharpless 279. Although the nebula is easy to see in a small telescope the "running man" dark lane area is difficult to pick out visually.

Messier 42 featuring the Great Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula.

In Greek mythology, Orion was a demigod hunter, son of sea-god Poseidon, and grandson of Minos, the King of Crete. He had threatened to kill every creature on earth, and was killed by a scorpion. In tribute, Zeus placed Orion amongst the constellations, adding the scorpion there also (Scorpio).

 

I took this shot hand-held, as I didn't have my tripod with me - there's a bit of camera-shake going on (as you might expect with a 1/4th second exposure time) but even so, I'm surprised how well this shot came out. You can even see the colour of the brighter stars.

 

Betelgeuse (red giant) is in the top-left, Bellatrix (blue) is in the top-right.

 

The belt is comprised (left to right) of Alnitak (blue), Alnilam (blue), and Mintaka (blue-white).

 

Saiph (blue) is in the bottom-left, and Rigel (blue-white) is in the bottom-right.

 

Orion's sword is represented by the stars Theta Orionis, Iota Orionis, and 42 Orionis, plus the Orion Nebula, the Messier 43 Nebula, and the Running Man Nebula.

The 'Running Man Nebula' (NGC1977) in Orion... this is a horribly grainy pic grabbed from the M42 image taken on March 23rd. It's had to be processed to hell to get the nebula visible, but its shape is now clearly there.

 

Gonna try and image this properly later with a LOT more data.

Orion Nebula and Running man Nebula

Some very large promences on the Sun this morning, this group in close proximity. It almost looks like the solar version of the Running Man nebula in the middle.

 

Taken with my Quark through a 70mm refractor using my Basler Ace mono CCD. False colour added after. The pink solar ball showing the location was through eyepiece projection.

An Orion Starshoot Pro Color camera was used to take 10 of 5 minute light images with a number of dark and flat correction images. These were processed with MaximDL Essentials and then stacked with DeepSkyStacker. Final lens corrections at the periphery and color adjustments were done in Photoshop CS3.
