Description

Dark Wolf Nebula (SL17 /Sandqvist 17)

This is a star forming region, dominated by hydrogen emissions, but also dark areas of dust and gas which, to some, resembles a wolf. The star forming areas are dominated by young blue stars, and much of the background areas have a higher concentration of older orange stars.

I imaged this Nebula in RGB during a 3 nights trip to a dark site, Ha subs were taken from my backyard.
