Description

Rotated and reframed

A black and white rendition of the so-called "flaming star nebula" - also known as Sharpless 2-209 - an Hydrogen alpha rich emission region in the constellation of Auriga.

According to the wikipedia entry, this nebula is only 1500 light years away.

As always, I welcome comments and constructive criticism.
