Description

A nice contrast of colours in this snaky part of the winter Milky Way. I wasn't aware of the existence of IC 2169, the blue reflection nebula resembling a snail. I managed to collect nearly an hour's worth of images from this beautiful region. While the Star Adventurer Mini did a good job on tracking, the camera battery didn't last long enough!
