Description

Messier 42 - Great Nebula and Running Man Nebula

Taken at the start of January to test a light pollution filter with my DSLR. Only a few sub-frames taken in the test but the results look very promising. The filter lets me take longer frames and more frames would lead to a far better image. But I'm please with the amount of detail in the core of M42.
