Orion Nebula courtesy of Jason Ware, Galaxy Photography,

The following file is a picture of the Orion Nebula, M-42, in
the constellation Orion. I took it with a Meade 6"
diameter 152 ED APO refractor telescope and Fuji HG400
film (120 format). The photo is an integation of four
exposures running 60 long. Notice that the center of the
nebula is not washed out like most pictures of this object.
This is because I took a fifth exposure lasting 12-minutes
long, and added it to the other four using an un-sharp mask
in the darkroom.

The blue object above the Orion Nebula (to the right in this
image) is NGC - 1973/5/7.

This photo was recently published in Sky & Telescope as a full
page image. It is also currenlty being used as a backdrop in the
Meade logo for their adds......Enjoy!!

I have 16x20 and 8x10 prints available if you are interested.
