This dataset captures the Great Orion Nebula (NGC 1976) and surrounding complex, acquired over six nights in early December 2025. The imaging setup used a Rokinon 135 mm F2.8 lens paired with a ZWO 533MC Pro camera on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTI mount. The data comprises 360 unfiltered frames at 180 seconds each, totaling 18 hours of integration time.
The wide field of view at 135 mm encompasses not only the bright core of M42 but also the broader molecular cloud region. This substantial integration period provides deep signal across the nebular structures, making the dataset suitable for processing projects that emphasize faint outer regions or color gradients in the ionized gas. Released under CC0 1.0 Universal, the data is available as a free download with no copyright restrictions.
