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.[b] It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun.

The weather finally allowed me to take a closer look at the moon last night. It's been months since the moon was this clear and bright so it was a perfect opportunity for some improvised testing of my first telescope (D = 150 mm / F = 1200 mm).
Seeing the moon like this up close with your own eyes is such a great experience, with so many details revealing themselves. Mountains along the edge revealing their shape against the blackness of space. Dozens of tiny craters grouped together in small clusters. Mountain ranges protruding from a seemingly flat landscape.
Please note that this and all the other pictures were taken by holding up a small compact camera to the eyepiece, so it's way more blurry/shaky than it really was. I should get a proper camera mount...
