Orion and NGC 1977
Hello,
Had a quick go at Orion with the WO ZS80mm while waiting for the Horsehead to clear that soon-to-become-firewood-if-I-get-my-way tree.
Hope you enjoy, UV filter fitted by the way.
cheers

Yes the running man in particular looks great..nice overall..maybe you can just composit some short exposures for the core at a later date and make this a keeper

What a pearler Frank.
I cant see too much wrong with this image..its nice all over.
If anything the background looks a bit dark but makes for a nicer looking image anyway.
Well Done

Frank,
I agree with the others, the Running Man came out brilliantly.
I also like the slightly desaturated look of the main nebula itself.
Well done.
