Last observation of the morning. Went to go see - in the center of the image. In the image you can see the other from top to bottom - , (right above M78), (dark nebula above and right of M78), (lower right of of M78 and LDN1627), (small nebula to the lower right of M78).

M78 The Casper Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter.  M78 (Casper Nebula) is a reflection nebula in Orion, about 1,350 light-years away. It appears bright blue as its dust clouds reflect light from nearby young stars.M78 The Casper Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter.  The Casper Nebula (M78) is the brightest part of a reflection nebula complex within the Orion B Molecular Cloud. It is surrounded by other smaller reflection nebulae like NGC 2064, NGC 2067, and NGC 2071. All these nebulae are clouds of interstellar dust that reflect the blue light from nearby hot, young B-type stars.
