Sh2-279 (NGC 1973, NGC 1975 & NGC 1977) Running Man Nebula in the Constellation of Orion 2020-01-20

            Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat 51.542 N  Long 3.593 W
Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount. 

36 frames used in final processing (12x60s, 14x50s & 10x40s all at ISO 800). Also 10 dark frames at 60s.

Processed with Deep Sky Stacker and final levels adjusted with G.I.M.P.

Although captured under what seemed to be cloudless sky, the seeing conditions and transparency were not at their best. The light pollution at my location is also presents a challenge. A fairly reasonable outcome with the equipment used.

The image displays some coma towards the edges. This is is one drawback of a parabolic f/4.8 Newtonian.
