Description

This very dense and compact Dark Nebula SL 17  in the constellation of Scorpius is often also called Dark Wolf Nebula just like the extended Dark Nebula Barnard 228 in Lupus. The reason for this is easily recognized. The dark silhouetted region of gas and dust blocks the light of  thousands of stars behind it, belonging to the huge Emission Nebula  RCW 113 which  emits strong H-alpha radiation.
To make the fine structures in the image more visible the stars have been removed.
