Description
The Running Man Nebula might be one of the most recognizable things in all of the night sky. I have just one question... Is he running to something or is he running from something? The world may never know.
I captured this image (from my home in Colorado) using iTelescope.net's T24 telescope based in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. I captured 18 images (in one night) and processed them with Astro Pixel Processor, Photoshop and Topaz Sharpen & Denoise. Star spikes are natural.
