Description

A 2x2 mosaic in Monoceros that took a month to complete over the New Year period.   The beautiful blue nebula IC447 contains at least two van den Bergh reflection nebulae on its own.  It and the surrounding objects are part of a huge star forming region designated RSF3 Mon which lies some 2400 ly from us (https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1988SvA....32..484S).
There are several NGC and IC objects all around the wide field OSC shot including, in the lower corner, the Christmas Tree Cluster and Cone Nebula.
