NGC1788
About this celestial object
A dusty reflection nebula in Orion shimmers despite its low altitude.
NGC 1788 is a reflection nebula in Orion whose dust clouds scatter the light of young stars.
The low altitude made the field haze-prone, yet the richly structured dark-nebula play remains recognizable.
1970 seconds total exposure at 250 mm trace subtle brightness variations.
