I sincerely hope that you have the privilege of observing M42 (Messier 42) through a telescope at some point during your life. The mighty Orion Nebula is arguably the most spectacular deep-sky object in the night sky. William Optics RedCat 71, ZWO ASI2400MC Pro, Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro. When photographing the Orion Nebula, it is common to include the nearby Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977) in the same frame as shown below. It includes associations of stars, ionized gas, and areas of reflection nebulae. The Orion Nebula itself extends across a 1° region of the night sky. The M42 nebula is part of a much larger nebula system known as the Orion Molecular Complex, which extends throughout the Orion constellation including objects such as the Horsehead Nebula, M78, and Barnard’s Loop. This magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen contains a young open cluster of four primary stars known as the Trapezium. The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is visible to the naked eye.
