Description

This is a 2-panel mosaic of the area; however, the diffuse nebulosity is much larger than what I have shown here, with each nebula stretching for several more fields-of-view in each direction. Towards the centre of the image is one of the relatively rare yellow / orange reflection nebulae; this one is designated as Cohen 129 (or RNO129). There are also a couple of blue reflection nebulae
