      Description

      NGC5346  is a reflection nebula associated with a cometary globule (CG12) located about 2500 light years away in the constellation of Centaurus. 
      This is another dark nebula + reflection nebula that has been on my list to image and I was lucky enough to get some clear nights while the moon was on vacation working on it's tan.
      Maybe it's just me but this reminds me of those microscopic water bears (or maybe I've had too many nights without sleep).
