Description

I really enjoy taking on dark nebulae and dust projects. As I was looking to stellarium, I found this fascinating dark nebulae. 

Plenty of data for limited subs and integration time. The goal was to dry to limit star blooming in the sea of stars. 

The Big is a dark nebula complex in the Aquila Constellation located approximately 2,000 light years from earth. Measuring  approximately the size of the full moon, the nebula by my calculation measures 17.5 light years across.
