IC447 Reflection nebula
Reflection/Emission nebula in a rich star field in Monoceros
Uploaded 5/8/24

 
This
            incredibly rich star field in Monoceros is about a few degrees
            due east of the S monocerous nebulosities. Filled with golden
            and blue stellar gems, we find in the center a pale blue reflection
            nebulosity IC477, above it a huge dark nebula LBN895. The large
            red emission nebula on the left edge is an enormous nebula Sh2-73
            which is the western edge of the S monoceros clouds, and to the
            lower left you find a gorgeous rich open cluster Trumpler 5 with
            dust dimmed stars that records all yellow in color. Technical
            Data: Celestron RASA 8" f/2, ZWO ASI071mc, 20 minutes RGB,
