Description

Sh2-263 /LBN 866 and VDB 38 pair to create a beautiful object in Orion.   You'll find several small galaxies and LBN 869 in the lower right.   Balancing the dust as well as the reflection/emission nebula makes this a challenge.    I've got several different versions exploring different treatments posted here.
