Description

Here is image number two from the superb Namibian night skies for you, but for me it was number one on the target list to image while this astrotrip. I never imaged this iconic nebula before. Beneath the superb dark sky, the seeing conditions in zenith were brilliant and I am very happy, I got it now nicely. The image is 2x drizzled and cropped for a portrait of this beauty. Hope you like it too.
best,
Christoph
