Description

The  other Messier object in Orion. Visually you can only see a bit of what's going on. This picture will increase the depth a thousand fold in mostly visible light. This is done with no filters. The color balance is quite tricky with the challenge of the ability of the human eye perception. Quite the combination of emmision, dark, and reflection nebulae, not to mention all the stars obscured to one degree or orther.
