NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - telescope processed image. M78 is the brightest reflection nebula in the sky; it doesn't glow on its own but reflects light from nearby blue stars.

NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - unprocessed image. Hidden within its dust are 45 low-mass stars (T Tauri variables) still in the process of forming into mature suns.

Starting from top to bottom here are #NGC2071 / #NGC2067 / #M78 / #NGC2064 #Nebulae. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - telescope processed image. M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky, easily spotted in the constellation Orion.

NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - unprocessed image. It contains a cluster of newborn stars and several "Herbig-Haro" objects, which are jets of gas ejected by stars during formation.

Good Monday morning. Sharing results from last night. Here is a reimage of (from top to bottom) #NGC2071 / #NGC2067 / #M78 / #NGC2064 #Nebulae #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M78 The Casper Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M78 (Casper Nebula) is a reflection nebula in Orion, about 1,350 light-years away. It appears bright blue as its dust clouds reflect light from nearby young stars.

M78 The Casper Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Casper Nebula (M78) is the brightest part of a reflection nebula complex within the Orion B Molecular Cloud. It is surrounded by other smaller reflection nebulae like NGC 2064, NGC 2067, and NGC 2071. All these nebulae are clouds of interstellar dust that reflect the blue light from nearby hot, young B-type stars.

Last observation of the morning. Went to go see #M78 #TheCasperNebula - in the center of the image. In the image you can see the other #nebulas from top to bottom - #NGC2072 , #NGC2067 (right above M78), #LDN1627 (dark nebula above and right of M78), #NGC2064 […]
