Description

Orion's sword is a beautiful region populated by three distinct nebulae, from the purple running man (NGC1977) to the smoky de Mairan's nebula (M43, the "head") and the sprawling, bright and detailed Great Orion nebula (M42, the "cape"). A testament to the brightness of this region is this image, taken in Bortle 7 conditions, which is just 10 3-minute exposures.
