M78 REFLECTION NEBULA // ORION

Thursday 21st of June 2007 04:51:07 PM

M78 is part of the Orion complex, a large region of star-forming gas and dust centred around M42 and M43. It is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky, and fairly easy to see with binoculars (and almost visible to the naked eye, claim some observers). M78 is some 1600 light-years away and around 4 light-years across.

Taken with the Atik 16HR ED 80 with 6.3 reducer.
