Description

FSQ 106 data from winter 2017 of a much larger FOV including Orion Nebula, cropped and drizzled 3x.

Studying it closely, it seems what makes the running man shape is folds of blue, reflective nebulous dust bending in toward the middle, creating a shadow and contrast with a deep red background cloud of Ha. The Ha master shows this most clearly, with least representation of the reflection nebula.
