Description

This image is something I tired to put together based on  my image of IC 353 on December 8th, 2023 that IC 353 nebulosity is connected to M45 nebulosity?  I am having a hard time bringing out the dust or blue nebulosity of IC 353.  I spent a few hours again last night on IC353 and reprocessed both the 11th and 12th.  So I don't know if this breaks any of Astrobin's rules, but this image is both Old and New data.  I do think this image is much better than the original so I am going to leave it as Final.

Discovered by E.E. Barnard in 1893.This vast diffuse reflection nebula lies just north-east of the famous Pleiades star cluster, and is probably physically connected to the Pleiades nebulosity. It is appropriately described in the first IC catalog, as "very faint, extremely large, very diffuse," from E.E. Barnard's discovery report (Barnard 1894). Its diameter is about 3 degrees.
