Description

Beautiful set of reflection and absorption nebulae in the border between Orion and Monoceros. Very difficult from my latitude as it only cleared the roof of my house to the South for max 3-4hrs/night in December and January reaching culmination at only 32 degrees of altitude.

I reduced the scale of the final LRGB image posted as the shot is quite noisy and blurred due to low altitude dispersion (note the colour flares in the brightest stars).
