Dusty Tornado

Hello,

Hello,

This is my final image for a few weeks, as I am President of the Advanced Imaging Conference, Inc and the conference is only about 5 weeks away. So I will be to busy to process images

This is a 6 filter image of an amazing star forming region IC1795 and NGC896. There are many layers of silhouetting dust overlaying the energetic areas creating a cavern-like shell. To me, the central dust structure looks a lot like a tornado or dust devil spinning its funnel.

If you zoom in and pan around you will see many interesting formations carved out by the intense stellar winds.

Thanks for taking the time to look,

Kindest Regards,
