Description

Capture and pre-processing by Paul Kummer. My preprocessing.
This large, bright nebula lies half way between Betelgeuse and the Jellyfish Nebula. We wondered about it when making our giant Orion-Monoceros mosaic and it seems odd that it is not imaged more often. This is one shot colour with no added narrowband.
Also known as Lower's Nebula.
