Emission/reflection nebula located in Auriga. It surrounds the blue AE Aurigae star. Located at 1,500 light years from earth. Its read colors are linked to Hydrogen Alpha emission, while some blue colors originate in the reflections from the illuminating star AE Aurigae. Shots taken for testing, little integration time because of its visibility during its passage across the window.
