The Dark Shark

[gregbradley]

Congratulations to you and your team that is an absolutely sensational image. Love the range of colours and the dust and those stunningly beautiful stars.

One of your best and one of the best images around here for a long time.

Greg.

I don’t quite see a shark myself but it is such an interesting target. I do wonder a bit whether the bright blue star on the right has blown the dust out of the way (radiation pressure) or if it is just so damned bright it’s making the faint dust difficult to process out.

Terrific stuff Rick! I love these dusty vistas and the colour is excellent.

Cheers

Thanks, Al. I'm voting for the shark but it's tricky

Thanks, Colin. I'm guessing it's just the bright halo...

Beautiful object and image Rick. Wonderful contrasts. Love it.

Dark shark eh? It certainly looks like a shark - does that mean there a light shark somewhere?

Certainly a beautiful image Rick!
