Another absolutely mesmerizing image by Robert Gendler comprised of 10 separate exposures totaling 30 hours.The beautiful starfield can only really be appreciated at full size.
A classic reflection nebula, IC 2118 lies 2 degrees northwest of the bright Class B supergiant Rigel which is thought to be the source of illumination for the nebula. The distance to IC2118 has been reported to be 700 light years away from us.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
...And of course, I like the title! Thanks for sharing...

In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is; you're what's left.
Great detail and cool colours and a thorough sense of wonder evoked.

Legitimate leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.
