Description

After I posted my Dark Tower image today, John (jmfloater) commented on the resemblance to the Cave Nebula. Here is a comparison of the two - they are remarkably similar.

The Dark Tower, at -41 degrees declination, is over 100 degrees further south in declination than the Cave, which is at +62 degrees. This makes it tough to image both objects well from the same location.
