Description

Containing two reflection nebula along with a dense dark nebula, this dusty cloud of hydrogen lying 650 light years away makes up the "Dark Shark" nebula.    This image was really a test image, and either needs a mosaic or use of a different camera.   It came out pretty nice, so while I do think it deserves to have the rest of its body captured, just the head will do for now!    I'll return to the object at a later date to put it all together.
