| Object Information: |
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted an image. This Image was intended to check to see that the Dec Drive was working properly after my breakdown last month. The stars aren't too bad for the wind picking up in the middle of the run.
NGC 1973/5/7 is a reflection nebula 1/2 degree northeast of the Orion Nebula. The three NGC objects are divided by darker regions. It is also called the The Running Man Nebula and Sharpless Catalog 279.
