The Orion Nebula is one of my favourite things to observe through a small telescope. Things get pretty interesting when you use the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, too. This image combines light taken through hydrogen-alpha, visual and ultraviolet filters. Credit: ESO and Igor Chekalin.
