Description

This image captures a dark nebulae complex located in the dust and star filled constellation of Ophiuchus at a latitude of -23 degrees. The various Barnard dark nebulae objects are shown on the annotated image.

Unfortunately, as is typical for dark nebulae, not much has been written about these objects. Together, they form the "smoke" rising from the much larger Pipe Nebula, the large naked eye dark nebula located just to the south.
