The Cover:
Shown in the photo from the top down:
- NGC1977, a bright emission nebula
- M43, small reflection nebula next to M42
- M42, the Orion Nebula.
This marvelous deep-sky object is visible in the winter sky, just below the
"belt" of The Hunter. It appears to the unaided eye as a "soft star."
Through binoculars, some of the nebulosity (gaseous cloudiness) can
be detected. A 6-inch reflector shows the tiny Trapezium, 4 newly formed stars,
in the bright middle.
- NGC 1980, the "Running Man" nebula/cluster surrounds Iot Orionis.

"The mag 10 approach adds many objects to my viewing lists even though I use an 18-inch Dob as my primary viewing scope. Thanks for the effort which went into developing it."
