NGC 1973, 75, and 77

Added 2.5 more hours to this for a total of 6.5 and I think we'll call it first light with the Edge HD 11". Did a better job processing with careful attention to star integrity. You might be questioning the framing as the main nebula is off center to the north. I did this because I wanted to include that dark nebula in the south. The image thusly contains major sections of emission, reflection, and dark nebula.

The Orion constellation is crawling with some of the most beautiful structures in the night sky and Running Man suffers from living in the shadow (almost literally) of the Great Orion nebula, M42. If it were in a less exciting area of the galaxy it would surely be a jewel of a target for photographers in its own right.

The red is gas that's being excited by radiation and emitting its own light. The blue is opaque dust that is reflecting star light. The brown is that same opaque interstellar dust that's not being brightly illuminated by nearby bright stars.

Many thanks to Joe Bruessow for working out a deal on the telescope. It's going to be the start of a long and beautiful friendship.

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.
