Here is a sequence of five LRGB images of dark clouds located in Ophiuchus, Sagittarius and Scorpio. I captured the data from suburban Sydney during the recent run of clear nights in late July.
The first dark cloud projects from the base of the Pipe Nebula. It reminds me of a praying mantis or a scary hominid-like creature from a horror film.
Perhaps it should be known as the “Ghost Man Dark Cloud”.
