Description

After a bit of a fraught start (accidentally turned of the mount mid slew - it lost it's position and plate solving threw a hissy fit and wouldn't re-synch) I finally came away with this.
Often overlooked because of the proximity of the Orion nebula this is NGC 1977 or the Running Man Nebula in Orion. I love nebula with both reflection (blue) and emission (red) components.
