Description

This diverse area of Orion presents a nice target for the 250mm focal length of the Redcat 51.  Here we have Casper The Ghost (M78) doing battle with The Boogeyman (LDN 1622) across the wall that is part of Barnard's Loop.

Perhaps in light of not wanting to scare any children, a name change might be in order for The Boogeyman...  - The Donkey Kong Nebula anyone?
