M42, the Great Nebula in Orion. This image is about 32 arcminutes across. The nebula is 460 parsecs distant and is the closest HII region to us. It is a giant stellar nursery.
M42, The Orion Nebula is perhaps the most photographed deep sky object in the heavens, a vast nebula of gas and dust exquisitely lit by surrounding stars.

The Great Nebula in Orion (also known as M42) is over 25 light years in diameter, and appears over a degree across as seen from the Earth. This is the same angular distance as two full Moons or two full Suns put side to side.
Next he showed me M27, the Dumbbell nebula, and a little later M42, the Orion nebula. Both were spectacular and also resembled long exposure photos with the exception of the missing colour.
M42, also known as the Orion Nebula or the Great Nebula of Orion, is a gigantic cloud of gas and dust over 30 light-years in diameter. It is located about 1,500 light-years from the Earth.
bright diffuse nebula in the constellation Orion; also known as the Great Nebula of Orion and cataloged as M42 or NGC 1976. It is located near the middle of the "sword" hanging from Orion's "belt" of stars.
11 (a) The Orion Nebula (M42) lies some 450 pc from Earth. It is visible to the naked eye as the fuzzy middle "star" of Orion's sword. (b) Like all emission nebulae, it consists of hot, glowing gas powered by a group of bright stars in the center.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula with a greenish hue and is situated below Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
January's Hubble Heritage image is of the emission nebula M42, AKA The (Great) Orion Nebula. 1,500 light-years from us, the nebula lies in the constellation Orion. The image is combined from data taken in October 2004 through April 2005.
The Orion Nebula is also known as M42. The M refers to Charles Messier an 18th century French astronomer and comet hunter. He compiled a list of deep sky fuzzy looking objects so they would not be mistaken for comets.

Qué lamentable que no vió el espectacular evento que estaba ocurriendo en la nebulosa a la que le dió el nombre de M42. Justo en el centro de M42 hay un grupo de estrellas, conocidas como Trapecio, que se han formado del gas de la nebulosa.
Attilla Danko:
"Big emission nebulae. Like M42, The Veil and the North American Nebula. These are just breathtaking in a short focus refractor with a wide field eyepiece and narrowband nebula filter." ...
The variable has born in The Great Orion Nebula (M42) and jumped from the nebula. The star is just passing through IC405 by chance, and brightening the nebula by giving energy and activating the hydrogen molecules.
1) Learn to spot a few constellations and maybe a planet or two with the naked eye. If you can't point to M42, how do you expect to able to point a telescope (which has a much narrower field of view) there?
5 times fainter than can be seen by the naked eye, including not only stars but also the Orion nebula (M42), where new stars are being born. Figure 5 shows the "flash" of reflected sunlight from an orbiting Iridium communications satellite.
Two UK astronomers have confirmed the existence of ‘free-floating' planets in the Orion nebula, M42.

NGC
The NGC (New General Catalog) is a list of over 13,000 deep-sky celestial objects. It was developed in 1888. For example, the Great Nebula in Orion is NCG 1976 (and M42). NGC4414 (pictured above) is a spiral galaxy 60 million light-years away.
The Pinwheel Galaxy, the third largest member of the Local Group, after Andromeda and the Milky Way. It is a spiral galaxy that lies 2.6 million light-years away. [C95]

Drive training should take care of it. (As an aside, in a 9mm eyepiece, M31 and M42 were dead-on, Saturn and Mars were about 5 minutes off). The drives do seem to run quieter and smoother, especially the RA drive.
(This is about the best vacuum made by human, while the density of air is about 1019 atom/cm3.) These regions are called nebulae. The typical size of a nebula is about hundred light years. Nebulae are made up of gases and dusts. An example is M42 in ...
catalogue by the 18th century French astronomer Charles Messier. These objects are often refereed to by astronomers by their M numbers. For example, the Orion Nebula is the 42 object in the list prepared by Messier, and so it is refereed to as M42.
From his belt there hangs a well defined dagger (known as "Sword of Orion"), which is known for one of the most famous nebulas in the sky: The Large Orion Nebula (M42).
