Description

Object type : emission nebula
Distance : 10,764 lightyears

This is a very unknown object. But it is worth a visit. The circumstances weren't very good. The moon was shining bright nearby. Nevertheless, I am happy with the result, although I had to overstretch it. There is much more in it, that's why I will visit this object more often in the future.
