CG22 in Pyxis

[Tom Davis]

In continuing with my goal of imaging dusty reflection nebulae in the
southern skies I have imaged CG22 in Pyxis. This has to be the most
difficult data I have processed in quite some time. CG22 is very
faint and making it stand out from among the 150,000 stars near it was
daunting. It is not the most breathtaking nebulae but it has ghostly
beauty nonetheless. Also, I had received an email from another imager
requesting CG22 to be imaged. Of note, there appears to be other
fainter dusty clouds nearby in the same image. Anyway, here it is:

I hope you enjoy it.
