Description

I love the drama in this object with the hydrogen alpha regions reaching up and around the reflection nebula portions!

Interestingly, in the course of taking this image, I noticed a weird reflection artifact (linear, not the usual circular) that other astrobin users (thank you!) suggest is due to a reflection of an out-of-frame star. I plan on hunting this down, and may add to this image in the future as I had to crop it pretty significantly to remove the artifact.
