Description

This a a Sandqvist and Lindroos dark nebula designated SL 17. Commonly called the Dark Wolf nebula for obvious reasons. It lies in Scorpius and despite its name, is just an opaque cloud of gas and dust blocking the light of the stars behind it. This is a HSO image with RGB stars. Lots of Ha, a little Sii but no Oiii that i could see. The addition of Sii gave it more contrast i suppose - not that my processing skills do it much justice but I'm always trying to improve.
