Description

Another area of the night sky you don't see too many images of. CED 51 is a blue reflection nebula located in the Orion Constellation and is on the northern tip of Barnards Loop. You also see LDN 1584 which is the dark nebula to the right of CED 51. This is an HaRGB image, where you see the rich Hydrogen Alpha creating almost a wave or a mountain. I was very happy with the end result given the challenges with the bright moon.
