Description

My initial capture focused mostly on the HH objects, however the initial test stack left me hungering for more of these formidable dark clouds that pepper the whole nebula complex.   So I re-framed the shot to include them alongside the ever popular H-H pillars.

Of course, in the end, I could not resist spotlighting these fantastic structures as mouseover!
