Description

Really little in this wide field of view, hence the mouse-over as this little guy is very cool.  Right in the middle of the Milky Way, 4k light years away, sits a reflection nebula surrounds the bright red emission the cocoon nebula.  Another nearby star-forming region.  My widow to capture was short due to trees...so this has got to be on my Mt Pinos list!  and to capture the "tail" dark skies are in order.
