This area of the sky is to the north of the famous Witch Head Nebula and is in the constellation of Orion. I haven't been able to find a catalogue number for the main nebula but he blue reflection nebula at upper left is NGC 1788. HD 32721 is the bright blue star just to the right of centre.
Pro dataset to follow shortly.

Nice processing on this Nik! This should make for an interesting Pro dataset.
Thanks Chris! It's an interesting but slightly obscure target. Lots of interesting stuff going on in there! 🤘
