This is a picture of the Auriga Nebulae. The constellation Auriga is visible in the winter sky and has several M objects. It has a clearly visible first magnitude star, Capella. Broadband filter data allows the nebulae to be seen in this picture. The picture spans about 4 degrees across the entire night sky. It is also known as the flaming star nebula. It is red because of the hot class O-star. The bright nebula is visible during winter and is on the plane of the milky way galaxy.
