Description

Poised in almost full perfection and glamour, this image taken thru my wide field telescope represents yet another star forming region bustling in hot blue stars. Most of my Red hydrogen nebulas I have captured are in close proximity to each other. This one in particular is close to the core of our Milky way Galaxy. Again only 6000 light years from Earth and spans across 250 light years it is emanating in red radiant hot Hydrogen with high pressure winds creating many features clumping together here resembling a prawn seen in the middle. Also, a fair amount of Dark dust is present at immensely cold temperatures absorbing the light which is very common in the universe. To the top and bottom corner exist a couple of star clusters all adding to the beauty and magnitude of IC 4628 (The Prawn Nebulae). Hope you all like it.
