Description

This little beauty sits in an area just below M42. IC428 is located in the dark central rift. It's fairly dim compared to M42 but with longer focal lengths it shows more detail. An interesting feature is the dark black key hole in NGC1999. The overall image can be visualized as a waterfall.
