Description

NGC1333 is a reflection nebula with the bluish hues of starlight reflected by dust on the edge of a large star-forming molecular cloud in Perseus. It is a dusty region with contrasting emission in red jets and glowing gas from recently formed stars. Dark nebula Bernard 1 is south and Bernard 2 is north of NGC 1333 in this image (north is up).

This is a 4.9 hr LRGB image taken 12/9/12 at D.A.R.C. Observatory, Mercey Hot Springs, CA.

Reprocessed in 2017 (B) and again 2022 (C).  Guess that's every 5 years.

A bit of star reduction on this oldie but goodie again in November 2023 (E).
