M78 (NGC 2068) not far from the Easternmost (left) star of Orion's belt, Alnitak, is one of my favorite objects to observe and to image.
M78 is the brightest reflection nebula in our sky.
Two B-type stars, HD 38563 A and HD 38563 B, are responsible for making the cloud of dust in M78 visible by reflecting their light.
