Hi !
This is sketch of Messier 42 (Great Orion Nebula) and her companions M43 and ‘The Running Man’ (NGC 1977) in Orion Constellation.
During the observation through this big bino, arms of M42 are clearly visible. Structures inside the nebula are also visible but they are really really faint.
M43 and NGC 1977 are shapeless, lighter areas around nebulas central stars.
Greetings,
Łukasz

Lukasz,
Impressive capture, can winter be far away?

Very striking sketch, Lukasz. The filaments within M42 look like they are moving away into the inky darkness, almost like a rainshower seen from the distance.
