Name of the huge Orion nebulosity

I have problem to find the proper scientific name of the huge
Ha-nebulosity above a line connecting the stars Betegeuse and
Bellatrix, in Orion.

Any suggestions?

Are you referring to Barnard's Loop?

Hello Roland!

I was under the impression that Barnard´s Loop is just the western and
southern part, evenly thick nebulosity surrounding the central part of
Orion.

The northern, huge circular area, I didn´t know was included here.

Goete

Correction:

I was under the impression that Barnard´s Loop is just the EASTERN and
SOUTHERN part, evenly thick nebulosity surrounding the central part of
Orion.

That's what I get for trying to answer with not enough sleep and not
checking which one was Bellatrix.

I don't know if it has a proper name; I call it Orion's head :-)

Hi Goete,

it's in Sharpless' Catalogue of emission nebulae, I think the
number is Sh2-246. See:

Bye,
