Description

This is a crop of the main reflection nebula (NGC 2064) from a larger field of view of M78. While processing the larger image in Pixinsight one of the previews I used had a similar crop as this. I liked how the up close crop brings attention to the details in the nebula's core, which aren't often shown or are blown out.

I've tried to keep the processing more on the subtle side, and to a minimum, on this image.
