Description

This is a 2-panel mosaic of a very rarely imaged IFN area. Apparently high interstellar winds are blowing there. The area is also densely packed with distant galaxies. MW-4 has been named the Animal Tracks Nebula. I cannot see any reason for it but I assume it may be from the impression of some early photographic plates lacking depth.
