M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The region near M42 includes M43 (De Mairan's Nebula), which is physically part of the same cloud complex but separated by a dust lane, and the Trapezium Cluster of hot, young stars embedded within M42. Other objects include the NGC 1981 open cluster and nearby double stars.

M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. Sh2-279 is a bright reflection nebula and HII region in Orion's Sword, just north of M42. Its dust lanes form a dark silhouette resembling a running man.

This was the last image I was waiting for to complete my mosaic of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. This image by itself is great. Starting from left to right - #NGC1981 Open Cluster, #Sh2-279 #TheRunningManNebula , #M43 #TheGreatNebulainOrion , #M42 […]

M42 The Great Nebula in Orion and M43 De Marian’s Nebula - telescope processed image.

M42 The Great Nebula in Orion and M43 De Marian’s Nebula - unprocessed image.

Decided to go try and observe #M42 #GreatNebulainOrion and #M43 #DeMariansNebula again now that I have the s50 in equatorial mode. Let the telescope take its time on this one. I like the results. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M42 The Great Nebula in Orion and M43 De Marian’s Nebula in this failed mosaic image.

Testing the mosaic feature on the s50 this morning. This was the result after an hour. Went 4x and rotated the framing to 45 degrees. Definitely a mosaic with the s50 will take time. You can see #M42 #GreatNebulainOrion and #M43 #DeMariansNebula in the image. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M42 - Great Nebula in Orion - telescope processed image. M42 is a massive stellar nursery in the constellation Orion, a glowing cloud of gas and dust where new stars are actively being born.

M42 - Great Nebula in Orion - unprocessed image. You can actually see it with your naked eye! It looks like a fuzzy, slightly brighter star in the "sword" of the constellation Orion.

Last observation of the morning. - #M42 - #GreatNebulainOrion. 35 minute observation. Sharing the processed and unprocessed images - even unprocessed this #nebula is impressive. Orion is light the the center right of the image, with #DeMariansNebula #NGC1977 […]
