Takahashi FSQ106
SBIG ST10XME
CFW8 with standard
RGB filters plus
Astrodon 6nm Ha
HaRGB:
Ha = 1 min x 18, 1x1
4 min x 48, 1x1
15 min x 14, 1x1
R = 2 min x 30, 1x1
G = 2 min x 30, 1x1
B = 2 min x 30, 1x1
Processed with CCDsoft,
Registar, Neat Image,
and Adobe PS -- the
original narrow field
image of M42 was
layered over the final
image to increase
resolution in the central
portion (trapezium).

The Orion Nebula is
easily visible to the
naked eye as a "hazy"
star in the middle of
Orion's sword -- the
sword is a chain of
objects that hang down
from Orion's belt,
which, in turn, is
formed by 3 bright stars
"in a row", a pattern
instantly recognizable
to virtually anyone who
has gazed up at the
winter sky. The nebula
is a region of active star
formation. Gases,
energized from the
nearby stars, glow red,
the so-called hydrogen
alpha emission.Note
the blue region at the
top left -- this is a piece
of NGC1977, aka the
Running Man Nebula
