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.

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

NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - telescope processed image. Located in Orion, this complex is a group of reflection nebulae within the Orion B molecular cloud. M78 is the brightest, illuminated by young B-type stars. NGC 2071, NGC 2067, and NGC 2064 are fainter patches separated by dark dust lanes.

NGC 2071 / NGC 2067 / M78 / NGC 2064 Nebulae - unprocessed image. Pierre Méchain discovered M78 in early 1780. Charles Messier added the reflection nebula to his catalog that December, noting its two bright nuclei.

Also decided to do another observation of #NGC2071 / #NGC2067 / #M78 / #NGC064 #Nebulae. M78 is in the center with the other surrounding it. Added mark ups to an image to identify the nebulae. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M78 and NGC 2071 Nebulas - telescope processed image. M78 (Casper the Ghost): This is the brightest reflection nebula in the sky, famously glowing with a ghostly blue light scattered by dust from young stars.

M78 and NGC 2071 Nebulas - unprocessed image. NGC 2071: Located just north of M78, this nebula acts as a high-mass stellar nursery, hiding powerful protostars that blast out massive jets of gas.

Nebulas M78 and NGC 2071 - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M78 and NGC 2071 are blue reflection nebulae in the Orion constellation. They are part of a large molecular cloud complex where new stars are actively forming.

M78 and NGC 2071 - unprocessed image with Moon and Skylight Filter. M78 and its neighbor NGC 2071 are known as the "Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula" because its hazy, bluish glow in telescopes looks a bit spectral.

Last image of the morning. Back to observing #nebula. Here are #M78 and #NGC2071. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

A stunning image of M78 and NGC 2071 reflection nebulae in the Orion constellation. Eerie blue glows and dark dust columns are highlighted, showcasing the scattering of light from nearby blue stars. M78, the larger nebula on the upper right, is approximately five light-years across and part of the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. This image shows M78 as it appeared 1600 years ago.
