Cometary Globule CG12 & NGC 5367

Cometary Globule 12 is a lovely mass star forming region associated with the young cluster and reflection nebula NGC 5367. It is located in the constellation of Centaurus so it is an object pretty high in the sky these months:

The star field in this area is extremely rich that makes not so easy to get the dust and nebulae standing out without having the back ground stars becoming too invasive. I tried different versions and eventually opted for this one, hopefully a good compromise between stars and nebula keeping the overall look as natural as possible, always my ultimate goal.

Apo TEC140 (140/f7.2) - FLI Proline 16803 - L (300m) R (130m) G (130m) B (130m)

Hope you will enjoy this one

Clear skies
