The image was shot remotely this image, in this you can see the trapezium cluster an open cluster at the center of the Orion Nebula, the cluster has an apparent magnitude of 4.0 and lies 1600 light years away from the Earth. In the image, you can see the four stars at the center of the Orion Nebula which are named trapezium A, B, C &D stars, which have a magnitude of about 5 to 8 and these are hot stars of class O and B, It was hard to believe that it was just 45 minutes of integration and I have got the best details.
