Description

I originally shot this almost  2 years ago. I had seen it pop up in several widefield images this year of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. I thought about adding it to my capture list for this year, but decided to try a top to bottom re-edit. With new tools at hand, especially GraXpert, this image really took on a different narrative. Hope you enjoy. 

This dark cloud is located within the larger Taurus molecular cloud. The nebula itself has IC 2087 at it's center which is a reflection nebulae that looks like a small flame. The flame is being illuminated by a star within or behind the thick dust of the dark nebulae giving its reddish orange hue.
