Here's another rarely imaged reflection nebula in Taurus. It looks like a vulture's head to me. Lots of faint dust clouds up there!

Hi Tom. This one is spectacular! I totally agree.... it looks like a vulture head.

BTW - I just bought an 8 inch ASA and I can't wait to get started using it. I am hoping for good things.... smile

Simply fantastic image Tom 8O

I too can clearly see the Vulture head.
Your processing shows off all the delicate structures so well.

You have become a master at these dusty places that are ignored by most!

Quite and eerie sight for Halloween Eve! It's always great to see rare objects, particularly when so well done!
