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 deep-space image of the Trifid Nebula (M20), a vibrant and complex star-forming region. The nebula shows bright red emission areas, blue reflection zones, and dark dust lanes. The red region is roughly divided into three parts by dark clouds, giving the nebula its “trifid” name. Above and to the right, sculpted pillars and jets shaped by young stars are visible. The entire nebula spans about the size of a full moon in Earth’s sky and is surrounded by faint stars against the backdrop of the Milky Way.

A wide-field image showing a sprawling red and orange nebula shaped like a flying bird, known as the Seagull Nebula. The bright "head" region, IC 2177, glows near the center left, lit by a massive embedded star. A faint bluish arc near the lower right marks a bow shock created by the fast-moving star FN Canis Majoris. The background is filled with dense starfields and dark dust clouds, all set against the bright glow of hydrogen gas in the plane of the Milky Way.

A stunning telescopic view of NGC 6726, 6727, and IC 4812 reflection nebulae in Corona Australis. Blue dust clouds illuminate the region, reflecting the light from bright blue stars. The image shows young stars forming within the nebulae, along with Herbig-Haro objects, created by outflows from newborn stars. The vastness of space is emphasized by the backdrop of distant Milky Way stars.

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.

Stunning image of NGC 1435, a reflection nebula surrounding the star Merope in the Pleiades star cluster. The nebula's blue hue is due to blue light scattering more effectively off carbon dust grains than red light. The brightness is determined by grain size, density, and the star's properties. This celestial sight showcases the beauty of interstellar dust reflecting starlight.
