Description

Photographed in collaboration with Remus Chua

This is a stellar landscape of truly prismatic colours, featuring both emission and reflection nebulae prominently. Many dusty tributaries also crisscross throughout the region, with a large dark lane cutting across the image in an inverted v-shape.

Very interestingly, there is a distinct difference in colouration of the star field in the top left section, which are generally greenish-blue, compared to those below, which tend to be golden.
