IC 2118 Witch Head Nebula
IC 2118 Witch Head Nebula
The Witch Head nebula is in the constellation Orion. It is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby star Rigel, approximately 900 light years from earth. The dust particles reflect blue light better than red, giving the dust cloud a blue hue. This image was captured in my backyard with a telescope and dedicated astrophotography camera.
