Description

A beautiful name for a lovely, albeit very dim, heavenly object.  Here in rural Pennsylvania (USA), it's visible for only 4 to 5 hours a night before it becomes hidden by the trees in my back yard.  As a result, over 20 hours of integration time were needed to achieve acceptable levels of signal/noise ratio and where the details of the dust clouds and the range of colors of both the reflection and emission nebula were apparent.
