Description

This image was the product of 30 5-minute exposures with a Celestron RASA-11 scope, a ZWO ASI2600MC one-shot color camera and an IDAS NBZ nebula-enhancing filter, and it has a lot more red than images of IC2118 usually do, and it doesn't look much like a witch's head in this view.  I am calling it the Witch's Hunt Nebula, because you have to really hunt for the witch's head, and you need a creative imagination as well.
