Growing up, I'd always gawked in awe at a giant poster of the Horsehead nebula at my father's workplace. Never thought I'd end up taking a picture of it myself.
From left to right: Flame nebula, Horsehead nebula, Running man nebula and the Orion nebula.
The Great Orion nebula is one of the closest massive star forming regions to us.
Equipment:
Camera - Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II
Lens - Konica Hexanon AR 135mm F3.2
Mount - Skywatcher Star Adventurer
La nébuleuse du coureur, un petit amas d'étoiles sur fond de nébulosité qui apparaît à l'oeil nu comme la plus haute "étoile" de l'épée d'Orion. Image réalisée en empilant des clichés pris à la caméra Altaïr GP-Cam couleur au foyer d'un télescope Skywatcher 150/750. L'empilement a été réalisé avec Deep Sky Stacker et le traitement final avec GIMP.

- The Running Man reflection nebula -
On Saturday I decided to try an experiment with my airbrush and try to do a 99% airbrushed painting. Been into Astronomy in a big way I wanted to try to replicate something I view through my telescope a lot so I settled on try to do The Orion Nebula how I've seen it through the eyepiece. Although a colour version as I've only seen it as Green through my telescope.
Im really pleased with how it turned out and I reckon I'm going to try to do a few more Deep Sky objects now. Its a good reason to experiment with my airbrush :P

Primarily a reflection nebula positioned just north of M42 and M43, NGC 1977 is imbedded within a complex that includes emission and dark nebulae. The stars here are just 2-4 million years old. The brightest is 42 Ori, a B1 variable.

Das Nebelgebiet "Running Man" im Sternbild Orion, direkt neben dem bekannten Orionnebel M42 im Schwert des Orion.
Der Name Running Man entstand, weil der dunkle Mittelteil des Nebels so ähnlich aussieht wie ein laufender Mann.
Dieser Nebel ist ein Sternentstehungsgebiet und gehört zu einer größeren Wasserstoff-Molekülwolke im Orion.
Er trägt die fachliche Bezeichnung NGC 1977 mit Teilen von NGC 1973 und NGC 1975.
Aufgenommen am 15.02.2019 mit der Canon EOS 7D Mark II und dem Meade LX50 10-Zoll Spiegelteleskop auf einer Skywatcher EQ6 Montierung. Mittels Reducer von F10 / 2500mm auf F6,3 / 1800mm reduziert. Belichtung mit 154 Einzelbildern zu je 25 Sekunden (= 64 Minuten Gesamtbelichtungszeit) bei ISO 3200.

Orion Nebula
6 Hours 40 minutes of exposure.
30 minutes of exposure of Orion's Sword. The largest cloud, the Orion Nebula proper, also known as Messier 42, is visible to the naked eye as a pink or purplish fuzz patch in the constellation Orion. It is an active star-forming region, and from our perspective, all of the ultraviolet emissions from the young and superhot stars cause all of the surrounding hydrogen to glow red and blue, effectively creating a pinkish color. There is a smaller nebula to the lower left of the larger one, De Mairan's Nebula, or Messier 43, and one to the left, sometimes known as the "Running Man Nebula." The Running Man Nebula is actually three distinct clouds of gas (NGC 1973, NGC 1975, and NGC 1977) that are reflecting much of the starlight the young, hot stars in the region. The "Running Man" is the dark silhouette that is in between all three. The green glow in the main Orion Nebula comes from oxygen atoms that have been doubly ionized (lost two electrons). This is my best capture yet of this region of space, and also posted is my first long exposure from 2013 of this region.

Some more data of M42 at around 15 degrees elevation, imaged at 69.7 degrees northern latitude.
A total of 58 minutes (29x120sec) imaged on two nights at a Bortle 4 location outside Tromsø. Northern lights+poor seeing made guiding a challenge on the second night. Also, strong northern lights activity saturated the light frames after only 20 minutes on the first night. Auroral activity is quite high when it fills the sky all the way down to the southern horizon.

First try at using StarNet++ to remove stars from deep sky objects - without stars here - have a new learning curve to get up learning how to post-process these images using this tool.
slight re-work of M42 - HDR using Photomatix 4.01, and then some shadows/highlights work in Photoshop CS2. Then I used the Noel Carboni actions for Photoshop's deep space noise reduction action. You can buy them from here:
