This was taken last December as an LRGB with Ha added to the L and R channels. The Fox Fur Nebula lies in the constellation Monoceros at a distance of about 2700 Ly's. It is primarily made up of hydrogen gas that has been stimulated by the UV radiation coming from the hot blue stars in the cluster. The blue reflection nebula is the result of clouds of dust reflecting the blue light from these same stars. The name Fox Fur Nebula comes from the area resembling a fur stole from a red fox.
