This photograph is printed on Epson Fine Art Cotton Smooth Natural paper (A3+), a 100% cotton archival fine art paper with a smooth surface and exceptional tonal depth.
An area of the sky where an extraordinary amount is happening. Dust clouds, stars, nebulae, star clusters — all gathered remarkably close to us, just 400 light-years away. A true explosion of cosmic colors.
This region is a prime subject for astrophotographers, as new stars are being born here, which is why it is often referred to as a stellar nursery — and not without reason.
Exposure time: 57 × 180 s (2 h 51 min)
Telescope: RedCat 51
Camera: ASI 2600 MC Pro
Mount: UMi 17R
Location: Hakos, Namibia
