Description

SH2-279, aka The Running Man Nebula, sprints across the sky, cape waving behind him as he dashes above M42, the Great Nebula in Orion. I was up until after midnight chasing this racer. Literally chasing this guy, he was in the east when I started and was heading south, almost due south when I finished. 20 lights, at ISO 800, 10 darks (camera in the freezer compartment of my office fridge), no flats, no bias. External temp around -10 deg C. Camera sensor temp at +10 deg C, no need for a cooler last night!
