Description

I've been shooting a bit blind lately with picking interesting areas of IFN based on the IRAS IR survey in SkySafari, and this one caught my interest. It also contains MBM27 and 29. I shot this over two nights with a fairly bright moon and dodging clouds, so I couldn't pull out as much detail as I normally like, so this one is a little bit dark and murky. Nonetheless, the shape of the dust cloud did not disappoint!

Shot with my AT60EDP, CEM40, and ASI2600MC-P, processed in PixInsight.
