      IC 447_ Dreyer's Nebula

      IC 447 (IC 2169, Dreyer's Nebula) is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Monoceros. It includes several massive B-type stars and forms one end of the Monoceros R1 star-forming filament, with IC 446 at the opposite end. IC 447 may have been formed by more massive members of the young open cluster Collinder 95.
