Certainly one of the
most interesting fields in the entire northern sky, centered
on NGC1999. Abundant red hydrogen gas fills the field, with rifts
and dark lanes crossing it in all directions. Just below NGC1999
are some tiny red nodules which are Herbig Haro objects, and
just above to the upper right is the curving arc known informally
as the "Waterfall Nebula". To its lower left is the
"Chevron Nebula". And of course at the very top we
find the outer loops of M42.
