Description

The Dark Wolf Nebula is part of the Lupus molecular cloud in the constellation Lupus. It lies approx 500 light years from earth. 
This target was a challenge to complete before the bright moon returned to the skies due to the weather with only relatively short sessions of imaging each night interrupted by clouds and rain. 
I imaged this at Lang's Beach, Northland, an area classified as Bortle 3.
