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 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.
Messier 42 never fails to impress along with its companion, the Running Man Nebula.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
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 Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula must be the most imaged nebulas in the night sky. In this project I wanted to get the surrounding dust and gasses that are not normally seen in most wide field Orion Nebula images. To be able to capture the faint dust and the super bright core and everything in-between I took a set of 3 different exposures to create an HDR image. The image required using a masked stretch of 300 iterations to be able to compress all the details into a workable image.

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 Orion Nebula Messier 42, M42 is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way Galaxy, south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. M42 is located 1344 light years away, and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.
The Running Man Nebula M43 is a popular target for amateur astrophotographers, as it lies close to the Orion Nebula and has many guide stars. The outline of the running man shows up primarily in photographs; it is difficult to perceive visually through telescope, thought the reflection nebula itself is visible in small to medium apertures in dark skies.

Since March 25th, I haven't been able to take any astro photographs due to bad weather we have been having in northern Arizona. Here is a revised image of the Great Orion.
Thank you for your comments,

Inspirational song and music.
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.
Messier 42, Es una nebulosa difusa situada en la espada de Orión. Es una de las nebulosas más brillantes que existen, y puede ser observada a simple vista sobre el cielo nocturno. Es uno de los objetos astronómicos más fotografiados
se ha obtenido información determinante acerca de la formación de estrellas y planetas a partir de nubes de polvo y gas en colisión. Los astrónomos han observado en sus entrañas discos protoplanetarios, enanas marrones, fuertes turbulencias en el movimiento de partículas de gas y efectos foto-ionizantes cerca de estrellas muy masivas próximas a la nebulosa.
NGC 1977, es una región HII y nebulosas brillantes que incluye una nebulosa de reflexión ubicada en la constelación de Orión . Es la parte más septentrional del asterismo conocida como la Espada de Orión

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.
This view of M42 (Orion Nebula) + Running Man Nebula was taken with Nikon d7100, Nikkor 180mm F/2.8 @ f/5, 55x180s, average iso=1100, cropped, Orion Sirius EQ Mount, sky transparency 8/10, Bortle 4, temperature 42F, humidity 80%, light winds, no moon, Oracle, Arizona, Post Processed in PixInsight, Lightroom, Photoshop.

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."

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) 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.
As i mentioned in my last upload, a big part of this type of photography is the processing, I have added a little more data but processed this image in a totally different way to the last version of this that I uploaded. Little steps forward.
This is a blend of images taken at 15,30,60,90 and 120 seconds taken over a couple of nights
Skywatcher 72ED, canon 6D Skywatcher EQM35 Pro
Just over half an hour of exposure time, to capture The Orion Nebula, on the right, and
The Running Man Nebula on the left.
Not bad for a Bortle 6 location, surrounded by streetlights.
No light pollution filters used.
My latest photo of the Orion Nebula from the backyard!
The clouds parted for about 5 hours last week, and I photographed the beautiful Orion Nebula (and Running Man Nebula) using two cameras.
This image includes just over 4 hours of total exposure time in RGB/H-Alpha.
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.
