Description

The Chamaeleon Molecular Cloud Complex Is One of the Closest and Contrast-Rich Star-Forming Sites!

I got a bit obsessed with processing this object because it was difficult to isolate the sky background from the dark cloud layers almost everywhere.

This is a two frames LRGB mosaic totaling 33 hours.
