[Antu]

Hi guys,

Sorry for not posting here too often. I'd like to share with you an image of the Chameleon molecular cloud. Actually this is just a piece of the whole complex of Chameleon dark clouds. The image was obtained at my remote observatory in Atacama desert in Chile.:

Enjoy and all your comments, critics, suggestions are highly appreciated !

Best regards,

:eyepop: Unbelievable Yuri! You should post here more often. I know you probably have the best skies and most optimal conditions for imaging but I am in awe at the level of your processing skills. The best I've seen to date. Looking forward to many more shots please. :thumbsup:

Can in add my praise to this wonderful image. The framing invites you to follow the cloud across the image. Wonderful!

A fantastic image Antu, please don't be shy and post more of your work.

What a fantastic place for an observatory setup as well. there's probably not too many places that can equal the seeing up there.

Brilliant Yuri.

I am not sure what this object is. Does it have an NGC number?
Or can you let us know the RA and Dec of it?
