DG6 (Magakian 16) Cassiopeia Altamira Horse
Close to Pacman is an ignored little group of blue reflection nebulas, IRAS targets and even submillimetric radio fonts.Main reflection nebula of the group is DG6. I invested almost 24 hours of inetegr subframes just to present in a decent way this image. I attached a prehistoric paint of a horse from Altamira´s Cave (Spain) as it´s very similar to the nebula. Both images are messengers from the past.. one coming by men´s hand (18000 years B.C) and the other by Universe light thousands of years ago..
An annotated image can be seen here also:

Thanks for looking.
Clear skies.
