Description

NGC 1977 is a beautiful and colorful nebula complex in Orion. The embedded reflection nebulae as well as the HII region and the dark nebulae create a varied image. The data were obtained in October and December with sometimes very good seeing (0.7 - 1.0 arcsec). November required a forced break due to very unstable weather and frequent thunderstorms.
