The Ghost of Rigel
Around the blue supergiant star Rigel, a ghostly appartion circles, its pale translucent form drifting through Orion, forever searching.
IC2118 (aka Witch Head Nebula) is quite a faint reflection nebula in the Orion constellation. After almost 4 hours of integration it still took significant effort to tease out any detail whatsoever - this target definitely requires some really dark skies to do it justice (this image was taken in Bortle 3 skies).
