This is a reprocessed image of the Running Man Nebula (left) and De Mairan's Nebula (right) that was taken last year on 10/4/2014. These two objects are found right next to the Great Orion Nebula in the sword of the constellation Orion. With the Fall fast approaching Orion is returning to the night sky, a real treat to look at/image in the Fall/Winter months. This image was a part of a mosaic attempt of this area which can be seen here: flic.kr/p/pf597z I really look forward to spending more time on this area this season. With this image there was quite a bit of noise to deal with and it was difficult to pull out the faint details since this image set is kind of lean, only 9x120" @800 ISO lights. I really want to spend more than a couple nights on these targets and the Great Orion Nebula, then move on to all of the other awesome objects/areas found in the constellation Orion this season. Here is a wonderful article PACKED with info on what can be found in the constellation Orion: http://www.universetoday.com/22314/orion/ Technical Info: 9x Lights 120" @800ISO 15x Darks 15x Bias 15x Flats 15x Dark Flats Camera: Canon 6D Scope: Celestron Edge HD 8 Mount: Advanced VX Guide Scope: Orion Mag Mini With SSAG Capture Software: Backyard EOS Guide Software: PHD2 Stacking Software: Deep Sky Stacker Final Processing: PSCC Location: Red Rock Canyon State Park, CA
