Description

The Orion Nebula, catalogued as Messier 42 or NGC 1976, is one of the brightest nebulae in the sky, and one of the nearest star-forming regions to Earth.

This was a difficult one to do justice. Exposures at 60s & 30s bring out the detail of the surrounding nebulosity, but drastically overexpose the Trapezium core. By combing the 5s, 60s, & 30s exposures in Pixinsight, I was able to preserve the Trapezium and capture the ethereal perimeter nebulosity.
