LBN867 – Emmission Nebula in Orion

I thought I would explore a hardly imaged part of Orion two degrees north of Orion’s “shoulder”, Bellatrix. LBN 867 is a star forming region with the magnitude 6 star SAO112667 at its center. Blue wisps of interstellar hydrogen are prominent similar to those in the Pleiades and classifies this object as a reflection nebula. The red area is an HII ionized region similar to the Horsehead Nebula and M42. A spiral galaxy, UGC3293, is to the upper right at magnitude 14.2.
