Description

This is my 4th attempt at Messier 78 via my Hyperstar lense system, the nebulae is a very dark and mysterious object in space positioned very close to Orion's hot super stars. This intricate and amazing nebulae lies appx 1600 light years from Earth. Messier 78 is a reflection nebulae as it doesn't contain a lot of Ionised gas so it reflects the blue colour from those very young hot blue stars in its midst. A lot of Mystery shrouds this nebulae with plenty of unexplained Dark matter obscuring the light from reaching us. like most objects in space, there is more wonder and mystery far beyond our reach.
