Description

Shot this object back in August and had intended to add a second panel of the dark nebula to the left ofhe current framing. Well, I goofed up and added the panel from below that does not add much to any effort. Definitely laughable and can be seen in image B. But all in all, I really like this nebula and finding it absolutely gorgeous with the variation of dark and dusty nebula, shape, and appearance. Estimates to the distance of the nebula are 600 light years, but like most dark nebula less certain.
