Great shot Steven. Beautiful colours and very smooth.

Lovely image and great to see another image from you Stephen.
Dust can be a hard one to image and the BRC has done well here.

Nice bit of dust, Steven! Shot noise is your enemy for targets like that

[LucasB (Lucas)]

Really nice dust shot there! Nicely processed.

Nice image Steven although possibly you could beef up the contrast a bit. Another good one to add to your impossible objects catalogue.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments.

I have beefed up the contrast slightly.

It has been brought to my attention by Sakib Rasool the image is of CG1 the cometary complex, Be135 is the reflection nebula on the right.

Super image of a very cool looking globule. Thanks for the view

Liking both the 'lean' and the 'beefy' version.
Haven't seen this bit of dust before.
