Description

The helping hand nebula in Cassiopeia. A wonderful area of the sky full of dark nebula, blue reflection nebula and a lot of dust. Do you see the outstretched hand? Captured over six nights this was a challenging image to put together as the dust is very faint but overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
