Description

This nebula is known as the Southern Crown - and for good reason. It is simply stunning. It is a giant molecular cloud complex and one of the closest star forming regions in the Milky Way. Young blue stars light up the center creating a beautiful scene as their light reflects off the abundance of swirling dust in this area.

This is my third year shooting this target and I love this area so much I think I'll continue shooting it in the years to come.
