Description

I love dark nebulae!  These mysterious clouds of stardust can only be seen by the way they block the light of the stars around and behind them.  The Seahorse Nebula here is one of my favorite.  It was shot with a Williams Optics ZenithStar 81 mm telescope and the spikes were added in the Davinci Resolve video editor.
