Description

The images taken by Nick with the  Planewave Instruments  CDK24 telescope at Obstech in Chile didn't seem to be interesting at first (just some dust near IC4628) but after stacking and some first quick processing, it showed interesting details nevertheless.

It was  difficult to find information on the internet about that region because the object seems not to be cataloged .
Finaly I found this article

https://universemagazine.com/en/astronomers-photograph-a-dark-tower-in-space/

This inspired me to spend more processing time on it, especially because it is an "object"  that is not often imaged.
