Description

Another lovely star cluster. Hauntingly beautiful? It looks like a ghost, or angel. Amazed this came out so well considering my light pollution. This definitely tops my previous attempt from a few years ago. Better equipment, processing, etc. I love the fine filament like structures in the dust, and was floored to learn that the stars are randomly passing through this dust as they move through the galaxy.
