M42 - The Great Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula (M42) (NGC 1976) and de Mairan's Nebula (M43) (NGC 1982) appear in the constellation Orion. This is a star formation region and is the closest emission nebula. To find more information and images of these objects, visit the Web Nebulae - The Great Orion Nebula and the Messier Index - M42 and the Messier Index - M43. This image is from a 28-minute exposure at the prime focus of a 16" f/4.5 Newtonian using hypered Fuji HG400 film taken on 3 September 1995.
