Running Man NGC1977

Hello to everyone,

Well after hitting M42 a few times and before attempting more subs to repair my flame nebula (recommended by Marc) now the moon has gone, I thought I would try a commonly forgotten about beauty that is rarely imaged alone the running man nebula.

This image is mage up of the following using my SCT9.25 and 6.3x reducer

107 x 90 sec Lights
107 x 90 sec Darks
36 x Flats
20 x Bias

I am fairly happy with the image there is some dark nebulosity starting to come out at the bottom of the image but I was hoping for a little more after more then 2 hours of data.
Not sure if spending another night of imaging will bring out much more or if my camera can even catch the extra I am looking for (may need some filters).

Hope you like the image, it was a little cool at 3 this morning.

Carl
