NGC 1977, The Running Man Nebula in Orion10 viewsA reflection nebula embedded in a bright HII region, Sh2-171, found in Orion's Sword near the Great Orion Nebula M42. Sh2-171 also includes two other nebulae and the star cluster NGC-1981.

The Horsehead Nebula in Orion10 viewsThe Horsehead Nebula, Barnard 33, is a dark nebula, silhouetted against the bright emission nebula IC 434. The large blue object to the left of IC 434 is a reflection nebula, NGC 2023. They are all found near the star Alnitak, the easternmost star in Orion's belt, which is off the frame to the right, and are 1400 light-years from Earth.

M42 - The Great Nebula in Orion9 views1344 light-years away, 24 light-years across, this emission/reflection nebula is one of the brightest in the sky, as well as the closest region of massive star formation to Earth.
M45-20121014.jpg
M45 - The Pleiades9 viewsA star cluster consisting of young, hot blue stars, about 130 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Only part of the cluster is shown here because it is too large to fit in the scope's field of view.

NGC 457 - The Owl Cluster9 viewsAn open star cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,900 light-years distance from our Solar System. The "eyes" are the magnitude 5 star Phi-1 Cassiopeiae and magnitude 7 Phi-2 Cassiopeiae.

1940 Cadillac LaSalle 4-door Sedan9 viewsThe LaSalle was kind of a junior Cadillac, built and marketed by Cadillac but with a different brand name, and priced lower than a Cadillac. LaSalles were built from 1927 to 1940, so the car in the picture is one of the last LaSalles ever built.
