I tried a little camera experiment that really shouldn't work. The idea being that I'd try the little trick of capturing hundreds of untracked 1-sec exposures - if you grab enough, there's a chance of getting some detail. I've managed to stack the 600 images into one single image and processed some levels/curves to bring out the detail. Canon 200d, Samyang 135mm lens F/2.0. 1600iso, 600x (raw) 1sec exposures (+ 10x dark frames). - images were taken on a standard (untracked) tripod. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, 32-bit Tif Levels & Curves processed In Photoshop CS3 Orion Nebula [600x 1sec images] The Running Man Nebular is just starting to appear above Orion. It's only faint - but the purple nebulosity is definitely there. In the second image, I've tried to bring out more of Running Man - however, this blows out some of Orion's nebulosity.
