      Description

      Collaboration image with Mike Selby.
      SH2 263 is also referred to as The Raspberry Nebula, it is a faint, diffuse reflection and emission nebula in Orion, sadly it is overlooked in favor of the better known nebulae in Orion.
      I love this subtle and delicate nebula!! And the small galaxies and groups!
      Credit to Mike Selby for the idea to image this uncommon one!
