Description

Object type : emission nebula
Distance : 2,300 lightyears

This is an interresting nebula, because in the center there is another (reflection) nebula, to make this reflection nebula visible, you have to shoot a lot of exposures. Much more than I did this time. This reflection nebula is a very little bit visible. In the (near) future I will shoot more of this nebula, because I want to make this center nebula visible, which is called the Squid nebula. The emission nebula itself is well visible with this 3 hours of exposuretime.
