Description

This image, captured mainly with a hydrogen-alpha filter, shows the extent of the hydrogen gas.The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye. M42 is located at 1,270±76 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across.This images was taken last year, I used a strong Ha approached to the conventional RGB, this entire processing was done in Pixinsight with a few touches in Photoshop. I used the Takahashi 106ed telescope with my faithful SX694 CDD camera.
