M42 Orion & NGC1977 Running Man Nebula; FLT98 @ f/6.3 + DS432M TEC + IDAS 6.5nm Halpha, 30gain, min gamma, 24x20sec
This is the Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula), it is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky as a faint glow in the region around the middle of the 3 stars which make up Orion’s sword. M42 is located at approximately 1300 light years from Earth.
This image, taken over 3 nights, shows M42 along with 2 other nebulae, De Mairan’s nebula (M43) and The Running Man nebula (Sh2-279). De Mairan’s nebula is the small pink area located just below the centre of the image, separated from M42 by dark dust lanes. The Running Man nebula can be seen towards the left of the image as an area of blue nebulosity (a reflection nebula).

The constellation of Orion is home to one of the most active regions of nearby stellar formation visible in the night sky and is known collectively as The Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
This image is of the area around Orion’s belt and sword, and incorporates amongst other things, The Horsehead Nebula, The Flame Nebulae, The Orion Nebula, De Mairan’s Nebula, and Running Man Nebula.
Towards the bottom of M42 is an open star cluster NGC1980, also known as, the ‘Lost Jewel of Orion’, which can easily go un-noticed when looking at images of M42. The Lost Jewel is a cluster centred around the bright star Hatysa (also called Nair al Saif or Iota Orionis), which is the brightest star in Orion’s sword.

The Great Orion Nebula in HaRGB with a total 11hours of exposure time. A really nice bright area of the night sky and common for most imagers for it to be their first target which was also the case for me. I still remember a couple years ago when I randomly got up at 3am and saw this nebula with my own eyes. To the eye you just see a slightly greenish fuzzy thing among lots of bright stars but then I pointed the camera at it and took 100 or so 2 second exposures and after combining those was able to see the details and colours. That was the start of my interest in deep space imaging, so happy to be getting on to this level of detail now with a telescope. This wasn't the best data as Orion was my backup target while other areas had clouds, but I'm happy to get some better results this year than the last and will hopefully get better still next year.

Tighter crop of Orion's belt, including the three main stars, flame nebula, horsehead nebula, running man nebula, Great Orion nebula and numerous other areas of illuminated gas.
This is the Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula), it is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky as a faint glow in the region around the middle of the 3 stars which make up Orion’s sword. M42 is located at approximately 1300 light years from Earth.
This image, taken over 3 nights, shows M42 along with 2 other nebulae, De Mairan’s nebula (M43) and The Running Man nebula (Sh2-279). De Mairan’s nebula is the small pink area located just below the centre of the image, separated from M42 by dark dust lanes. The Running Man nebula can be seen towards the left of the image as an area of blue nebulosity (a reflection nebula).
The Great Nebula in Orion, an immense, nearby starbirth region, is probably the most famous of all astronomical nebulas. Here, glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1500 light-years away. In the above deep image, faint wisps and sheets of dust and gas are particularly evident. The Great Nebula in Orion can be found with the unaided eye just below and to the left of the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion. In addition to housing a bright open cluster of stars known as the Trapezium, the Orion Nebula contains many stellar nurseries. These nurseries contain hydrogen gas, hot young stars, proplyds, and stellar jets spewing material at high speeds. Also known as M42, the Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

M42 and M43 at center with the Running Man nebula in the bottom right. This is an average of 7 exposures of 500 sec each taken the night of Oct 13 2012, in the Los Gatos mountains (PAS dark site). The image was compressed using Log(Log) functions. The initial images were cleaned of hot pixels and USB dropouts then converted to RGB color using personal software. These 7 images were then stacked in Maxim DL Essentials using Average, then compressed twice with the Log function. Final image processing was completed in Adobe CS5.

I've imaged the Orion Nebula at least three or four times before, but this is the first time I've captured the Running Man Nebula as well.
The Running Man Nebula is a reflection nebula that glows because of the massive nearby stars being born in the Orion Nebula. The reason is has three catalog designations is that the dark regions that run down the middle indicate that is is actually three distinct and nearly parallel clouds.

The Orion Nebula in Orion (M42), also to the left is the 'Running Man Nebula' The Orion Nebula is great star forming region in our own galaxy and is one of the most popular amatuer astronomy targets. The Orion Nebula can easily be seen as a greenish misty patch when looking at the middle star in Orions Sword (Not the belt!).
