Description

My second MW object, this is even tougher than MW2 (MW2 from London in 2017).  MW3 is a large region of Integrated Flux Nebulae close to Bode's Galaxy.  The dust is not illuminated by any particular star but by the flux energy of all stars in the Milky Way making it very, very faint.  A real tough cookie from London.
