Description

This is 62 subs at 120 seconds each taken in Bortle "6.5" skies, moon was nearly full but not quite up yet. Clear skies with poor seeing conditions. Stacked with 15 darks, 15 flats. Levels, stretching, cropping in Photoshop.

I was interested in NGC 1977 just looking at wider field photos of the overall "Orion's Sword" and wanted to get a closer look at it, I really like the blues and purples in this nebula.

There's some star flares on the right side I haven't quite figured out yet.
