Description

What a beautiful mess of a region!  NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula in the western part of the Perseus molecular cloud and is a young region of very active star formation.  I’ve never had much luck imaging these clouds before, but I’m pleased with this taken from a dark site (Mt Pinos).  I might have overdone the stretching and processing, but I so love the color, dark veins, and cloud structure that doing so brought out.
