Orion Nebula and Running Man

This is the first time I have imaged The Great Orion Nebula and Running Man area with my mono CCD. We had such bad weather last year up here that I never did get to shoot much. I got one night out of two this week and bad weather is back for the next week. I made this image from the 60 second exposures because I did not get all the channels of colors at 120 seconds. If I can get another couple of nights I will finish the 120 seconds and I will shoot this area again and again. Orion is my favorite constellation and this is the only nebula that really showed well in my small refractor from In town as a child. I learned to love going to see it every winter and night after night between struggling to find other things in the bright background. Now I want to shoot it every year with better and better equipment but the weather seems to want to stop me.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
