NGC 1990
Orion    
Foresthill, California
December 1998
FS-128G (ag, ST-4)
hPJ400, stack of two 45 minute exposures

NGC 1990 surrounds  the belt star Epsilon Orionis. This reflection nebula is of such low magnitude as to be invisible in all but the larger scopes.   There are two very faint detached reflection nebulae in the lower left of the photo, my star charts do not identify these nebulae
