Description

Wide field view of dark nebulas of Taurus Molecular Cloud or TMC1

Barnard 22 the dark nebula on top and the hidden tiny flame-shaped nebula IC 2087 in the centre are both part of the Taurus Molecular Cloud.

One of the closest star factories near to Milkyway galaxy. Some of such reflection nebulas are difficult to see as the dark nebula obstructs reflections of star forming region.

Gear used, Takahashi FS60 CB/Reducer + Canon 5Da, Sony A7a
