Hi all,

I shot this one last Saturday night. I thought it might be a wash because my camera has developed a gradient problem and I had to spend hours removing it. But I think I was able to salvage it (most anyways).

Details on the website as usual:

Best,

Beautiful job. The wide field also clearly shows the other unilluminated dust clouds in the region. Thanks!

Fantastic Jose!! The dark dust that is scattered around the area is really nicely captured.
