Another absolutely mesmerizing image by Robert Gendler comprised of 10 separate exposures totaling 30 hours.The beautiful starfield can only really be appreciated at full size.
A classic reflection nebula, IC 2118 lies 2 degrees northwest of the bright Class B supergiant Rigel which is thought to be the source of illumination for the nebula. The distance to IC2118 has been reported to be 700 light years away from us.
