Description

My 10" Newtonian with the Starizona Nexus is my preferred setup these days.  It's joy to image at f3 and I like the results.

While processing this image, the dark nebula to the lower right of the Cave Nebula seemed rather like a Rorschach (ink blot) test.  For me, this image evokes a sense of the struggle between light and darkness, or good vs. evil; almost like two great beings are engaged in some cosmic battle. I'm not sure what that says about my psyche.  Perhaps I've seen too many Sci-Fi movies.
