Here is another image of the Orion Nebula, this time taken with a light pollution reducing filter as opposed to the Hydrogen/Oxygen filter used for the images posted earlier. Notice that the colors of the nebulosity are different. Most significantly, the Running Man in the nebula of the same name (the blue nebula to the right) is clearly visible, whereas he is not in the earlier, narrowband images.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
