SH2 63 dust

While at the Astrofest dark site, I try to push myself imaging fainter, dustier regions rather than bright targets I can image from home. This is far from perfect - I had some stray light coming from somewhere creating internal reflections that I did a hatchet job of removing. But in general I'm happy with the dust captured.

Gorgeous! And great star color too.

really nice ... one of the "finer" objects I have seen in an image

Great image!

If only all sites were so dark.
