(secretly reminds me of the "never give up" drawing of the frog with its hands around the throat of the heron that is trying to eat it). And a very deep photo. Well done.

Your imagination is amazing.....and a bit dark!

Thank you Mike.

That's a beautiful pic & so well processed with:
golden stars, delicate brown dust, a nice blue/violet center & the dark snake through it.
It looks really professional.

cheers
Allan

Hi praise. Thanks Allan.
It was a gamble as I did not find many other photos of it.

All the best,

It was a new object for me as well Leo. I had only found 2 other significant photos of it and they were closeups.

Thank you.

Thank you Justin and Steve.

It was a difficult object and a big gamble as I used 3 of my 4 nights in Coonabarabran to image it not knowing how much dust and detail was there. I had only seen a couple of previous photos of this object and they were closeups with much bigger scopes and better cameras.

I was lucky.
