Description

**Orion Nebula** 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. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula. **Basic details of the shot** Date: 2020/10/30 Location: El Escorial - Madrid - Spain Telescope: LongPerng 80/550 0.8x CCD: ASI 294 MC Pro (Gain: 200, Offset: 30) Mount: Celestron CGEM Guide: Lunatico + QHY5 Temp.
