Impressive In Every Telescope

An astrophotograph showing a large pink and greenish nebula towards the bottom of the image and a smaller reflection nebula around some stars toward the top of the image. That is how Erich Karkoschka’s book Observer’s Sky Atlas describes the Orion Nebula, and I can verify this. I imaged it last night with my Seestar S50, and here it is after 13.5 minutes of imaging. The smaller reflection nebula in the upper part of the image is NGC 1975.
