NGC1333 in Perseus
Reflection nebulosity with dust and Herbig Haro objects
Uploaded 2/15/21

 

            
This is a very dim object!
            2 hours exposure did not seem quite enough, but perhaps we can
            revisit this one next year. The central blue object is central
            reflection nebula, surrounded by wreaths of brownish lanes of
            dust. You can see left of the nebula a large window in the dust
            that lets the distant stars shine right through!

            
This was taken with
            the 10 inch f/3.9 and 80 minutes of exposure time.
