Snake Nebula Barnard 72
B72 Snake Nebula
Aka Barnard 72, I love what is going on in this image with the immense star field and Nebula so dark and dense it obscures the light from the stars behind it. Nicknamed the Snake Nebula from the winding snake like dark nebula on the left.
Photographed in July 2021 with my Edge HD telescope at F2.2 using a dedicated colour CMOS camera.
