Orion and Running-Man Nebula (M42 and NGC1977)

This is a reprocessed version of my previous picture, in which I tried to incorporate what I have learned so far. this is my third picture of Orion (M42) and the Running Man Nebula (NGC1977), which I took already in my new place in Astrocamp, Nerpio. I knew it wasn't going to be an easy target, so I struggled with it and will probably tweak it a lot in the future. Of course, it's a great pleasure to be able to shoot under such skies, even if the weather is bad there at the moment

The camera angle isn't really ideal for this target either, but at least it allows me to show more of the beautiful dark nebulae surrounding Orion.

Optics: Skywatcher Esprit 120/840 ED (0,77 reducer)
Camera: ZWO ASI2600MC Pro
Mount: Sky-watcher EQ8-R Pro

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
