Description

I had heard about this object only recently and didn't know where it was in the sky but managed to track it down and it was well-placed in the sky for that time of year so I shot it up of a few nights!
Turns out it's an amazing target and I love the small dark globules in front of the main nebula; great detail on that here I think.
I also love the layered nature of it; gives a very 3D impression.
