Cosmic fire and smoke: LBN 878 and Barnard 35 in Lambda Orionis

[gorann]

Barnard 35 is the dusty area surrounded by the bight arch registered in Lynds' catalogue as LBN 878. This bright nebula and all the other Ha emitting nebulosity and dark dust (molecular clouds) seen in this image are part of Sh2-264, aka the Lambda Orionis Ring.

To me it looks like LBN 878 is heading towards the small planetary nebula NGC 2022 seen to the left of it.

Caught with my dual RASA8 rig with ASI2600MC and NBZ filters (= Ha+Oiii). 112 x 5 min, so 9.3 hours. Processed in PI and PS including the XT tools.

Cheers, Göran
