DG6 and Company...

[afesan]

 

Close to Pacman is an ignored little group of blue reflection nebulas inmersed into a dust cloud, IRAS targets and even submillimetric radio fonts.Main reflection nebula is DG6. Almost 24 hours were invested due for this weak target and present it decently.I attached also a prehistoric paint of a horse from Altamira´s Cave (Spain) as it´s very similar to the dust nebula. Both images are messengers from the past:one coming from men hand (18000 years B.C.) and the other by Universe light  millions of years ago.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Antonio,

 

A very interesting area in the sky. I'm sure it takes some dedication and a really dark sky to show it in this quality.

Very nice processing and a great idea to show it in context with the prehistoric painting.

 

Best regards,

Gerhard
