Description

Cederblad 111 (Ced 111) is a blue reflection region in the southern constellation of Chamaeleon and is part of one of the closest (~550 light years) dark cloud complexes to the Sun. Ced 110 is the bright reflection in the central portion of the image with the distinct bright arc. Both are part of Cha I dark cloud complex. The median age is estimated at ~2 Myr. The cloud complex is a stellar nursery and many new stars have been detected through their variability and H-a emission. All according to aapod2.

This is LRGB data obtained through Telescope Live at the El Sauce hosting facility at 1500m elevation in Río Hurtado, Coquimbo Region, Chile. Each channel is 6 x 5 min. I would have liked more integration time but this 8" f/3 telescope is a light-bucket which helped.
