Description

Snagged a witch last night!.....
This is IC2118 - known as The Witch Head Nebula (kinda looks like the profile of a witch's head).
This is a dusty region just outside of the star Rigel - the lower right foot (as we look at it) of Orion.
I'm kinda diggin how this broadband filter works with a bright moon nearby. I pretty much stopped using this filter when I got the narrow band one (which is insanely amazing). Glad I went back to it though.
