Description

NGC 1333 is a stellar nursery located a thousand light-years away in Perseus. It is a photographic treat with both reflection and emission nebula components. The denser part of the dust cloud contains several bright emissions from Herbig-Haro objects. 

When I go to star parties, I try to capture the objects that are beyond my reach from the backyard. This image was taken at the Nightfall star party in Borrego Springs, California. At Bortle 3+, the site is not super dark but the sky is at least two magnitudes darker than what I have at home. I was pleased with what could be achieved with less than seven hours of data.
