Description

The FWHM was poor with very bad sky stability but I kept all the data as there is only 29 frames.

This is a space blockbuster, a nebula very well known but so inspiring.

I had the clear intention on choosing this particular field.

I managed it to be framed precisely like it is, strange looking but meaningful to me.

If I was to do it again I should have 10 to 20% more field to the left available but still... Happy with it.

The following considerations have nothing directly related to both astronomy or photography but when I see a field like this, I feel more than if it is just a frozen scene.

The blue reflection inspires me of living powerfull stars amongst growing and newborn still cocooned and growing into the dust.

The red blowing winds inspires me of the dead if it is indeed coming from a supernova explosion as supposed. (A dead star... Its end has probably come to a beginning in a way)

The new borns are chasing the dead... And well, the dead is overwhelmed there.

The depth I sense is as visual as it is emotional in here.
