The Witch Head Nebula - IC 2118
A curious object located not far from the belt of Orion, this reflection nebula bounces light off the nearby star Rigel to reveal swirling clouds of dust. Additionally, being captured from such dark skies, a little bit of the fain H-Alpha emission came through on the Red filter, which surprised me. Taken from just outside Fort Davis, TX.
