Obligatory winter capture of the Orion Nebula (& Running Man Nebula). ~1hr each of RGB, 1.5 hrs of Lum & ~2hrs of Ha.
Captured in increments over 16 nights from late October to late January (because there are lots of obstructions in my back yard).
At ~1300 light years away, it is one of the closest stellar nurseries to our solar system. And one of the most (over) photographed (apologies!). 🤪
