Description

The Dark Tower is a cometary globule (GN 16.43.7.01) in the constellation Scorpius formed by the action of hot stars on the molecular cloud. It's an interesting area with loads of Ha and some reflection nebulae. This rather lurid HaRGB image tries to showcase the best aspects of this intriguing object.
