Description

This area of the sky is not imaged very often unless is combined with a widefield view with its more popular brethren the Cone Nebula. I always found this area very interesting, combing dark and bright nebula along with the star cluster NGC 2259. I hope you enjoy this SHO rendition of this beautiful target!
