Description

M42, and M43, also known as the Orion and Running Man Nebula. Kinda hyper-processed using Maxim DL Photoshop to enhance some of the whispier details at the expense of blowing out the Trapezium in the center of M42. TMB 152/1200 Refractor telescope. SBIG STL11000M camera using SII/HAlpha/OIII narrowband filters mapped to RGB channels in Photoshop. Total exposure time was around 2 1/2 hours.

Awesome! I've never been able to get a really good shot of this, way to much light pollution in my area. :)

I am positively blown away...didn't realize this was possible to capture with equipment available to regular but knowledgeable observers...was this observed and photographed from home? Truth can be stranger than fiction :-) Bill
