Collaboration: Paul Swift and Terry Hancock
Paul and I both captured NGC1333 recently and as his image was captured using a much longer focal length with much more detail especially in the HII regions than in my version we decided to combine the data.
Paul captured NGC1333 from his home in Valencia Spain 8360km from Terry Hancock who captured his data at Grand Mesa Observatory, Purdy Mesa, Colorado

At the edge of the Perseus molecular cloud, lies the reflection nebula NGC 1333. The nebula, with its characteristic blue color, appears in the center of the image surrounded by dark dust clouds. Containing hundreds of new stars that are less than a million years old, and lying at a distance of less than 1,000 light years away, NGC 1333 is of the nearest star forming regions.
