Last observation of the night. Another view of (from top to bottom) #Sh2-279 #TheRunningManNebula / #M43 #DeMairan'sNebula / #M42 #TheGreatNebulainOrion. Quick mosaic enlarging the height of the image. You will probably see more images of these from me soon. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space […]

Sh 2-279 Running Man Nebula / M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - telescope processed image. The running man nebula - The complex comprises three NGC reflection regions—NGC 1973, NGC 1975, and NGC 1977—divided by dark dust lanes that silhouette a running human figure.

Sh 2-279 Running Man Nebula / M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - unprocessed image. The running man nebula - Located just 0.6 degrees north of the Orion Nebula (M42), it is ionized and illuminated primarily by the bright young subgiant star 42 Orionis.

Last post for today. Decided to let the Dwarf Mini and the s50 observe the same item. Here is #M43 #DeMairan'sNebula / #M42 #TheGreatNebulainOrion.

#seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur #dwarflabs #dwarfmini

M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - s50 telescope processed image. Hubble revealed over 150 protoplanetary disks (proplyds) inside M42, capturing solar systems in the earliest stages of forming planets around newborn stars.

M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - Dwarf Mini telescope processed image. The core illumination comes from the Trapezium Cluster, a tight four-star system where Theta-1 Orionis C generates most of the ionizing ultraviolet radiation.

M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - Dwarf Mini unprocessed image. Physically part of the main Orion Nebula, M43 is separated from M42’s central glow by a dense foreground dust lane cataloged as the Dark Bay.

M43 De Mairan's Nebula / M42 The Great Nebula in Orion - s50 unprocessed image. Unlike M42’s Trapezium cluster, M43 is ionized and illuminated almost entirely by a single massive, hot variable star designated NU Orionis.
