Description

This spoky mix of faint bright and dark nebulae lies west of M45 in Aries. The bright blue star to the upper right is Epsilon Arietis, which at a distance of 330 ly is visible to the naked-eye. LBN762, LBN753, and LBN743 (from Lynds' Catalogues) form the major horizontal structures across the image and are about 1000 ly away. The rather bright nebulosity annotated as LBN762 in the upper left is part of the larger collection of structures seen there catalogued by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy as MBM13.

I have found very few images of most of the nebulosity seen in the image, and even fewer good ones, but a prominent exception is the APOD by Rogelio Bernal Andreo: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap171209.html

This is a two-panel mosiac captured over two night with my dual-RASA rig. No filter used.
