Orion and Running Man Nebulae

[steppenwolf 6,799]

Having experimented with 'Holmes' tonight using my Canon 200mm Telephoto lens, I couldn't help but notice Orion climbing nicely in the sky so I swung the 'scope round and had a go with the same lens. The image comprises of 8 subs at 180 seconds each and three subs at 50 seconds each taken with my SXVF-H9C CCD camera.

That's an excellent Running Man Steve - I particularly like the colour.

Always looks more like 'Bowling Man' (10 pin) to me - he's got the action just right!

Well done

Very nice image of tough targets! Tricky, keeping the Running man, (Ngc 1973) while not blowing out the core of M42.

Super image S :Dteve. 42 is highly detailed , and the running gadgie is plain to see.

:shock: Very nice SW, good color, yours is the first image where I have actually been able to make out 'the running man'.

Running man stands out really well and nicely executed M42. The background looks a little clipped on my monitor though

The background looks a little clipped on my monitor though

It is a little clipped - a function of the processing required to get the main 'events' balanced. I have a less clipped version but then the area around the Running man looks too 'rough'! I reckon I could take a totally different finished picture of this pair every night, they are so open to 'interpretation'!

Great image Steve. I posted my effort the other night but had too narrow a FOV to take in the running man. I will try my focal reducer next time.

Martin, this is an updated version showing more nebulosity but frustratingly, the background is still a bit clipped - an improvement?
