Description

This wide field image shows The Cone and Foxfur Nebulas and Trumpler 5 on the bottom. The stars are very old and have a yellow color. Hubble's Variable Nebula is to the left ... to the right is dark lane B39 and the nebula NGC 2247. Total exposure time was 40 hours ... a lot of OIII data ... you can see it as a blue mist swirling through the Cone / Foxfur areas.
