Description

When I was a child, I owned a cheap 60mm achromat and I prepared my visual observation for hours... The orion nebula was the number one target in the night sky of my childhood.

Only 1350 lightyears away, this star forming region is pretty close and may be seen as a wonderful cluster in a far future... I wanted to preserve the trapezium cluster from saturation though I know it from my visual observations.
