M42 - The Great Orion Nebula
Most famous and brightest emission nebula, below Orion Belt in Orion constellation. It's about 1500 light years away and contains lot of newborn stars. On pictures taken from larger scopes (8" and larger) you can notice some parts in the middle, where distant star systems are forming. You can see here not only M42, which is the largest, upper part, but also M43 (little "," coma below) and Running Man Nebula (the blue one) on bottom.
Taken in March 2007 with Synta 80ED and Canon 300D.
