Description

Something very different - NGC1999, to be more specific, the dark spot. Long time believed to be an area of high density dust, but recent investigations showed that it is really a dark spot in the middle of the universe. To my knowledge it is up to now not known what causes it, but it is pitchblack. Pretty small for us...
Bad weather limited the amount of subs, whenever possible, I shall make more subs to get a better resolution.
