Colour, Malcom, groovy baby! Yeah!

If colour is not a good option for your eyes, then see to make out the wispy, smoke like details in the veil. The variations in density can really intensify the 3D effect.

M42 was one of the first objects, if not the first, I looked at through my 17.5" when it got into my hands. I nearly fell over backwards then, and I still do a double-take now. Extraordinary.
