M42- The Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula (M42) in the constellation Orion is a star formation region and is the closest emission nebula. To find more information and images of this nebula visit the Messier Index - M42.
This image is a combination of LRGB exposures totaling 100 seconds each through a William Optics FLT110 4.3" f/7 refractor using an SXV-H9 detector. This image was obtained on 1 March 2008.
This image was taken on 5 March 2008 and is an LRGB composite of 10 minute exposures through the same 4" f/7 refractor using the SXV-H9.
The four stars at the center of this image are known as the Trapezium and are not found in most photographs of this nebula because traditional film-based images must overexpose this region in order to show detail in the fainter nebulosity.
This image was captured on 8 October 1999 and is a composite of numerous 1/2-second exposures through filters in the following amounts: cyan (50x0.5sec), magenta (49x0.5sec), yellow (50x0.5sec) and white (IR filter only 52x0.5sec).
