Description

Located in the Constellation Ophiuchus, a group of dark nebulae, including LDN 191, LDN 204 and LDN 234, formed up the shape of a seahorse sailing in the sea of abundent Hydrogen radicals, chasing the bright 4-mag star, 20 Oph, on the upper left corner of this framing.

It's almost too "plain" here: nothing but extremely-highlighted red from H-alpha signals, plus dusty darkness.
