Description

Rich Sornborger imaged this recently and I decided that it would make a nice addition to my list of targets. This is a diffuse nebula located in the constellation of Perseus. It does resemble the Trifid Nebula which is one of my favorite objects of the night sky. I still prefer the Trifid but this one has the advantage of being much easier to image from my backyard.
