Description

I've been looking forward to image this target from a dark location for a long time - finally I got to collect a considerable amount of data of this fascinating region on the edge of Perseus. The reflection nebula NGC1333 is accompanied by several Herbig-Haro objects, giving this region a wide range of beautiful colours and structures. The vast dust clouds obscuring the view on the star formation give this area a spectacular touch.
