Description

Object type : reflection nebula
Distance : 1,300 lightyears
Diameter : 6 lightyears

One session in August 2021, and one session in Juli 2022. Combined these two sessions together. 5,5  hours of exposures of this nebula. Allthough the moon was shining bright in the second session, I am happy with this result. Nebula and dark clouds are visible in this endresult.
