Dark Tower in Carina

Just noticed this feature and its similarity to the more famous feature in Scorpio - thought it looked cool

OK, this is waaaay too spooky now Mike! Forget about telePATHETIC - we must be suffering a major case of quantum entanglement! After finishing my Eta I was going to post the exact same thing .... and CALL IT the exact same thing!!

What can I say mate - you beat me to it! At least we know great minds think alike!

PS: I like it!

Cheers Paul and Ross

Funny how things can look new or you might notice something new when viewed from another perspective.
