Description

NGC1333 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Perseus and contains a large number (estimated at over 1000) of stars in their forming stage (i.e. pre-main sequence). This star nursery is in the western edge of the Perseus molecular cloud - hence the molecular clouds in this image.

We had clear skies for several days in a row which enabled me to capture almost 11 hours of sub-exposures
