Witchy Woman

[Warhen]

Hi Friends,
It's been a long, cloudy winter here in Potter County, but I was able to get six hours in on two excellent nights. This wonderful object has long eluded me, but I finally got her. Details are available in a mouseover on the main page. I've also posted them with the larger 'Display' version. I'm quite pleased with the performance of the relatively inexpensive camera lens.

I do hope you enjoy and apologize for the long wait.

Most truly,

Hi David,
The Witch Head IC 2118 is just off Rigel. As a dim, reflection nebula I'm not sure if it's a visual object or not- where are my eyepieces?!

Thanks to all for your kind comments.

Truly, Warren
