M78 is one of the many nebulas in the constellation Orion. It is a very large and bright reflection nebula that is commonly observed by many telescope users. This is a great image of the nebula as it even was recognized as the winner of the Hidden Treasures 2010 astrophotography competition. The European Southern Observatory took the picture. M78 is about 1600 light years and has a bluish center with dark and dusty clouds around it.
