Messier 78, NGC 2071, NGC 2067
Sketch and Details by Serge Vieillard
Another sketch made on the second night of observing at La Palma, and with the 16″scope is the beautiful, bright and diffuse reflection nebula M 78 (left center). Other parts of the Orion molecular cloud complex included in this sketch are NGC 2071 far right and below and to the right of M 78 is NGC 2067. This was another quick sketch of the “splendor of Orion” as Serge calls it.

Serge
I tell you what, if I had a choice between a million dollars or a night on La Palma with a 16″ scope and a 13mm Ethos, then it would be Canary Islands here I come.
Scott.
Serge,
This is a very impressive sketch. I am sure you will long remember your observation there.
Frank 🙂
