Description

This is the region in Orion centered on M78.

There is much to see here. Although this is a widefield (low-resolution) image- the overview is nice. Barnard's Loop (a supernova remnant) arches through the field on the left. Just a quick note for the techno-geek astrophotogs... this is a straight RGB image- no NB H-alpha added.

More interesting... please see the companion video I made that zooms into this field and beyond:
