Description

IC 2966 is a tiny but beautiful reflection nebula located in a giant swath of stars in the southern constellation of Musca.  The great CDK700 in El Sauce gives us a fantastic close up view never before seen on Astrobin, although the object often plate solves in wide field images.

Thanks to Mike Selby for the chance to see this unusual object
