      Description

      Molecular Clouds in Chamaeleon

      This framing shows an area of star formation (one of the closest we have from earth, only 500ly) in the constellation of Chamaeleon.
      The brightest nebula (blue nebula up in the frame) is IC2631, a reflection nebula.
      The blue nebula below is Ced111 while the beautiful C-shaped yellowish nebula close to it is Ced110.

      This is a 9h integration photographed in 2 nights (16th and 19th, January, 2023).
