Description

This is a HaSHO composition of one of my favorite DSOs-a truly iconic object. The most difficult aspect of this image for me was the palette. The object is never an easy target for me, as it sits low in the south amidst a fairly heavy light dome. I was fortunate to get the time I did. I would like to revisit this region with a widefield setup, as the dark structures and other nebulae in the area are spectacular in their own right. This is a crop of a larger image--though not widefield.
