Ghosts of Orion: A Journey from Messier 78 to the Boogeyman

This widefield capture spans from Messier 78—a bright reflection nebula in Orion—to the haunting contours of the Boogeyman Nebula, a dense dark cloud obscuring background starlight. M78 glows blue due to starlight scattered by interstellar dust, while the Boogeyman lurks quietly as a cold, starless silhouette in the cosmic canvas
