Description

I have not seen the Phantom Mask on too many astrophotos so far. Nevertheless I found the nebulae fascinating at first sight... Evil... Very evil... :-) And the blue star just below the mask mouth - as if it is about to be eaten…

As you can see, the composition of the image triggers some strange fantasies in my head. ;-) I like it - hopefully you like it too.
