RE: Astronomical observations #8 : Orion Nebula (M42)
M42 - The great Orion Nebula is a real showpiece. Even though you don't see the vivid colors like you do in photo's you can still see much of the detail with your own eye. It also holds up pretty well when there is a bit of light pollution.
Good write-up @astromaniac .
Thanks. Exactly, I often watch M42 from my a suburban family home. However, under the dark sky this nebula shows its true size.
