De Mairan's Nebula and the Orion Trapezium Cluster
A close up of the Orion nebula showing M43 (De Mairan's Nebula) and the Trapezium (cluster of stars at the "core" of the Orion nebula).
This was a quick one to fill in time, just two hours of integration with varying length exposures necessary to avoid saturating the core whilst still bringing out the fainter portions of the region.
