This is a reflection nebula called the Blue Horsehead (IC4592). It is made up of gas clouds that are illuminated by several hot blue stars. I might want to capture a bit more data after this rain finally stops.

A breathtaking image of the central region of nebula IC 4603, showcasing its striking resemblance to an impressionistic painting. The vibrant blues and reds are caused by interstellar dust reflecting and scattering starlight, creating a cosmic masterpiece. The bright star SAO 184376 illuminates the blue reflection nebula, while the red hues are due to nebular gas emissions. This stunning celestial scene is located near the bright star Antares in the constellation Ophiuchus.

Stunning deep-space image of IC 4592, a reflection nebula in Scorpius. The nebula's bluish glow is created by dust reflecting light from nearby stars, including a star in the Nu Scorpii system. A fainter, horse-head shaped nebula is also visible. This image requires deep exposure to reveal the fainter features.

A stunning image of the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118), a reflection nebula illuminated by the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion. The nebula's eerie, witch-like shape is strikingly visible against the backdrop of countless stars. The blue hues are a result of dust scattering blue light more efficiently than red, a phenomenon similar to why Earth's sky appears blue. The image showcases the beauty and mystery of deep space.
