Interesting LinksR3 PanSTARRS: An Orion Comet
"from the Craigieburn Mountain Range in New Zealand. Visible in the deep background image are the Orion Nebula, Barnard's Loop, and through R3's tail, the bright star Saiph, the sixth brightest star in the constellation of Orion."

Barnard's Loop: The giant red semi-circle on the left is a massive emission nebula. Itโs a remnant of multiple supernovae that occurred millions of years ago, creating a "bubble" of hot gas that we are looking through.
Jonathan Poh ๐ท ๐ณ๏ธโ๐The Orion Nebula is probably well known to most people, it's so bright that it's visible to the naked eye. However, there's so much more going on in that region of space. Also visible in this image is De Mairan's Nebula, Running Man Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Flame Nebula and Barnard's Loop

====================================
Barnardโs Loop is a huge arc formed emission nebula in the constellation Orion, expaning over about 600 arcminutes as seen from our point of view, covering much of the constellation. This image just covers a small part of the loop, close to the star Alnitak.
Above the loop, thereโs Messier 78 - the so called Casper the Friendly Ghost nebula. Itโs a diffuse reflection nebula roughly 1.350 light years away from us, overlayed by the dark nebula LDN 1627.
A final detail Iโd like to point out is the dust pillar at the bottom of the image, featuring a tiny reflection nebula at its top.

Dr. Miguel Montargรจs ๐ญโจ๐กWonderful image of my favorite region of the Northern sky during the lunar eclipse of November 8th.
Simply gorgeous ! Congratulations @astrofalls.

As the moon dips behind the shadow of the earth, the stars and nebula of the night sky begin to show themselves. Here is how that looks to a deep sky camera setup!
