Description

I haven't found many references for this nebula in Orion. There are a few super examples on AstroBin and it is surprisingly infrequently imaged given its combination of pretty emission nebula, faint blue reflection nebula and colourful star field.  The reflection nebula will certainly benefit from luminance and is evident in this HaRGB image but relatively formless.

Weather frustrated us as we struggled to find clear skies to gather our desired dataset and I had to push the RGB harder than normal. We had only one 600s luminance sub , ho hum.
