Description

Image 2 of 3 from my 21.5+ SQM June dark cycle.

"Sh2-82 is a beautiful cloud of gas and dust consisting of an emission nebula enveloped by a hazy reflection nebula. It is embedded in the dark nebula LDN 727 and is the site of some star formation and young stellar objects. Located at a distance of approximately 3600 light years, Sh2-82 is ionized by the star HD 231616, which can be seen near the center."
