Der Fliegende Holländer - Ha Widefield IC4628

[Andy01]

IC 4628 - "The Flying Dutchman" is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the cosmic oceans of Scorpius forever.
When sighted the ship is reportedly glowing with ghostly light.

Well that's my spin on this thing anyway, a bit more romantic than the Prawn Nebula, and it's kind of JMW Turner-ish with all that mist about.

I've reframed this image to keep as much nebulosity in as possible as there's heaps of Ha surrounding this neb, hopefully, it should look ok when finished :)

Just saw this pop up on Astrobin. Awesome field! I've been looking at doing a mosaic of this area - the Dark Tower is just out of your field of view top of image.
