In the December 2012 issue of Astronomy, C. Robert O’Dell wrote a story named “How the Orion Nebula works.” The story contained lots of graphics and images from professional telescopes but only one from an amateur astronomer. As you might imagine, our files contain numerous images of this object taken by hobbyists.

Astronomy magazine subscribers can view the images for free. Just make sure you're registered with the website.
