Description

IC447 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros, right next to the well-known Christmas Tree cluster. This blue reflection nebula is contrasted by the surrounding molecular hydrogen cloud. In this FOV, the main part of the nebula appears as a whale, while NGC2245 and NGC2247 appear as bubbles from two whales.
