Description

A wonderful reflection nebula in Orion. Just a 5 minute capture with my F 4.5 14 inch Dobson.. The direct out put from Sharpcap Livestack and stretching. I didn't feel that this needed any further enhancement. I just cropped some slight stacking artifacts from the edges, and what you see is what I got.  I love this Dob!

I just noticed that below running man, is some dark nebulosity, also in the shape of a runner. Perhaps this is running woman?
