Description

This is a heavily cropped view from the original frame to show the Orion Nebula and the Running Man Nebula.  I made exposures of 30, 60 and 120 seconds, stacked each set, and then used an HDR tool in PixInsight to composite the three integrations.  Much of the outer nebulosity is visible while the Trapezium cluster can also still be seen.
