Description

I am checking old hard disks and found this 2007 image.

This image has been taken during November 2007. I have only the jpg file and I have lost the original FIT. It was taken with a Miniborg, an Artemis camera, an HA filter and a Vixen GPDX. Artemis camera has been dismissed, because it was too noisy. Miniborg has been sold many years ago. Unfortunatelly the nebula is not in the center of the field, otherwise it could be a nice picture. I have no other data (exposures, darks and so on).

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years (412.1 ± 6.1 pc) away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula. (Wikipedia)
