First ever Nebula attempt. Started where all newbs do, Orion'
s sword belt. Shot on Nikon D5600 Stock 200mm kit lens, no filters. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and post editing GiMP
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.
From top to bottom: Running Man Nebula (NGC 1973/5/7), Great Nebula (M42), and Iota Orionis and surrounding stars.
This nebula is next to (part of?) the Great Orion Nebula. Imaged over the nights of 4th and 5th March 2025.
I had serious problems with equipment taking this, the calibration frames were totally wrong (my mistake) so this is not the right colouration for the nebula it should have a red tinge from the Ha present - but it is an interesting image regardless.
Darker sky and longer exposure reveal more of the Orion Nebula. Also visible is the Running Man Nebula (NGC 1973/1975/1977) toward the top of the frame.
The lower right is M42 (Orion Nebula), a diffuse nebula roughly 1345 light years away. Just above and to the left is Sh--2-27 (running Man Nebula), a bright nebula roughly 1500 light years away. In the upper right is Bernard 33 (Horsehead Nebula), a dark nebula roughly 1375 light years away). Just above and to the left is Sh-2-277 (Flame Nebula), an emission nebula roughly 1350 light years away. The photo is 40 minutes of imaging (40 X 1 minute) using an iOptron Sky Tracker Pro, stacked using Starry Sky Stacker, and processed using Photoshop and Topaz. Photo taken outside of Odessa WA
The Running Man Nebula reprocessed with 5.6 hours of data collected in 5 min subimages. This is an image that is reprocessed from the same data as the other 5.6h image of the same name. In this image, the stretching does not cutoff the black edge of the data.

I came across some old test data that I forgot I had. I was testing out a quad band narrowband filter and captured 55 120s frames on the Orion Nebula (right) and the Running Man Nebula (left). The original data was out of focus a little and dim so it was difficult to process. I stacked the images and processed the best I could and this is what came out of the wash.

A very quick process of Orion's Belt, showcasing the Orion Nebula, Flame Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Running Man Nebula, M78, and others. Taken with a Canon R5 and 70-200 RF L at 200mm f/2.8.
From left to right: Flame Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Running Man Nebula, and the Orion Nebula. Imaged over several nights with a Canon T7i and Rokinon 135mm 2.8.
