Description

This is the first in the catalogue of these bright (typical) reflection nebulae- and this is a pretty good one!
The wonderful luminous filamentary detail of the dust-scattering bluish light is contrasted by the darker clouds of dust to the right which includes the eye-catching cavity of Cass V633 as well as a number of Herbig-Haro outflows.  There is an HST image of it for a little more context:  https://esahubble.org/images/potw1350a/ .

There is an unfortunate element to this image...but if you do not notice it- I will not take great pains to point it out.
Even so, this is likely one of the few deep captures of this field at this resolution.
