Description

Senior astrophotographers, myself included, continue to search for new imaging targets that have been overlooked by others.  Many are in plain sight, but need a new perspective or level of resolution.  Such is the case of RCW40 in the Gum nebula, that I am pleased to present in an HST palette.  I found only two images each on Google and in the Astrobin archives, but they did not do the nebula justice.  Please share in my joy of this “discovery”.
