Description

The Running Man Nebula located in the constellation of Orion around 1500 light-years from Earth. It is not far from the more famous Orion Nebula - one of my favourite parts of the sky. The Running Man (NGC 1977) is a reflection nebula.

Data for this image was taken over multiple nights (13/02/2016, 19/02/2016, 25/02/2016, 28/02/2016 & 6-7/03/2016) when time and weather allowed. This summer/autumn hasn't been very good for imaging, so took some time to get enough data.
