M42 Orion panel 2

Believed to be the cosmic fire of creation by the Maya of Mesoamerica, M42 blazes brightly in the constellation Orion. Popularly called the Orion Nebula, this stellar nursery has been known to many different cultures throughout human history. The nebula is only 1,500 light-years away, making it the closest large star-forming region to Earth and giving it a relatively bright apparent magnitude of 4. Because of its brightness and prominent location just below Orion’s belt, M42 can be spotted with the naked eye, while offering an excellent peek at stellar birth for those with telescopes. It is best observed during January.

Around the nebula are some magnificent emmision, reflection and dark nebulea which I tried to enhance them in the provided data.
Altough the dataset is with Ha I only used the LRGB data to make the image.

Some objects in frame:
-Coal Car Cluster / NGC 1981
-Running Man nebula / NGC 1975
-Orion nebula / M42
-13th Pearl nebula / NGC 1999
-vdB 42
-IC 420
-LBN 963
and much more....
