On ya Doug.
Highlights what I was saying to the guys on the weekend. With the better imaging techniques these days it looks like M42 and the running man are one ds object (like a tube) through the dust with the dark lane between them like a basket handle over the top. Only difference is the new stars are in front of the end at the running man causing the mostly reflection nebulosity (older stars maybe) while the new stars (trap) are inside the tube at the M42 end.
I read too much into it I know but shows definate 3D structure.
