Description

Often overlooked by amateur astronomers because of its more flashy close neighbour The Lagoon Nebula (just out of frame to the lower right of this image) this is nevertheless a very interesting part of the same molecular cloud in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way galaxy. A combination of star clusters, red HII emission and blue reflection nebulae and dark molecular clouds, this region has it all!
