 M42 - Great Orion Nebula
The Great Orion Nebula (M42, NGC 1976) and NGC 1977 to the north (left in this photo) are located in the 'Sword' part of the constellation of Orion, just below the Eastern-most of the three stars that comprise Orion's belt.
M42 has a particularly complex range of of emission sources as part of it's spectrum, as well as a strong component of reflected broadband light, which probably accounts for the wide range of visible colours.
NGC 1977 (the Ghost Nebula as I call it, to the left in this photo) is a complex region of emission and reflection nebulosity and in my opinion is one of the most intriguing and beautiful objects in the entire night sky.

 SCYON: Paper abstracts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Spectroscopic radial velocities for several nearby open clusters suggest that spectra of (especially earlier-type) rapidly rotating stars are systematically blueshifted by 3 km/s or more, relative to the spectra of slowly rotating ones.
Comparisons with astrometrically determined radial motions in the Hyades suggests this to be an absolute blueshift, relative to wavelengths naively expected from stellar radial motion and gravitational redshift.
Such wavelength shifts thus permit studies of certain types of stellar atmospheric dynamics and - irrespective of their cause - may influence deduced open-cluster membership (when selected from common velocity) and deduced cluster dynamics (some types of stars might show fortuitous velocity patterns).

Small scopes are defined as those up to 6", big scopes from 8" to 10", and challenge objects are best viewed with scopes of 11" diameter and larger.

Orion Nebula, bright diffuse nebula in the constellation Orion; also known as the Great Nebula of Orion and cataloged as M42 or NGC 1976.
To the naked eye the nebula appears to be a faint star but becomes a vague patch of light when viewed through binoculars.
The bright region is divided into two sections, the northeast portion being cataloged separately as M43 or NGC 1982.
