Description

I have no idea what this beautiful reflection nebula located just to the north of the CED 111 complex is called.    Although I have imaged it before, it has always been with CED11 at shorter focal length.  This time I wanted to put in "centre stage" at a longer focal length.   

If any of my AB friends can help me out with a name, I would be most grateful. {Thanks to Steve, I now know this is IC2631).

 Until then, I am still calling it the Hurricane nebula on the basis of the rather wonderful "cyclonic" shape of the gas.
