Description

Messier 78, also known as NGC 2068, is a beautiful blue reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067, and NGC 2071. I have always been captivated by pictures of M78 and this is my first attempt at it. I'll continue adding more data to this since there's so much going on here and there's much room to get more details. On the top left, you can see a tiny bit of Barnard's loop.
