NGC 1977, Running Man nebula in Orion
NGC 1977, a reflection nebula in Orion. commonly referred to as the "Running Man" nebula, is a region of predominately blue reflection clouds of hydrogen in the Orion complex. The dark lanes of dust in front of the cloud give this region its name. Note the dark dust cloud to the lower right in the image.
Taken using the GRAS 7 telescope in Israel, 27-Feb-2008 18:30:13 UTC - 19:28:30 UTC. RA 05h 35m 55.1s Dec -04 51' 43.4"

This one is unfinished business, as it went below the telescope horizon before completion. I hope to complete the greens and blues later, possibly some narrowband filters too, weather permitting.
