Description

Nested in the Constellation of Orion and surrounded by multiple imager-farovites, LDN 1634 region - part of the Bright Rimmed Clouds (BRC) - isn't getting enough attention as it deserved. There is a beautiful mix of dark structure and strong emissive hydrogen, delineating the shape of a mountain in burning; a hint of blue glow from the clouds nearby reflecting starlight is merely detectable, adding a layer of complexity/dynamic to this framing.

Another project spanned across two years (not quite)! Although the total integration isn't insane, the work was kicked off end of 2020, and kept getting pushed out by interests on other targets... Glad we finally put an end on it.
