Since the weather won’t permit a new capture (😒), here’s a starless reprocess of my Orion Nebula data from a year ago.
Messier 42: The Great Orion Nebula
A diffuse nebula - it is the nearest star-forming region from Earth, at a distance of ~ 1 300 light years.

Fun fact: Venus is currently also only partially illuminated, which is why, if you zoom in, it doesn’t appear completely round!
