The Orion Nebula as seen from my 102mm (4-inch) cassegrain-maksutov telescope, the Celestron Nexstar 4 SE. It is the easiest, brightest nebula that can be seen with the naked eye. More normally be better seen with a simple binoculars, one can see it as a 'bright-whitish' cloud located in the constellation of Orion; which within itself has many messier objects and other nebulas like the Horsehead Nebula and the Witchhead Nebula. The photo above is a 'flipped image', a trademark of all cassegrain reflector telescopes. Just 'flip' the image like a page to the left, and you'll have the correct orientation. See 'Telescopes' for other examples and explanation
