abstract cloak
An old photo I have made with my astrophotography gear I don't use anymore. Just wanted to post this in celebration of the new forum update.
To the right of Cygnus amidst the arm of the Milky way you will find these scattered structures of dark nebulae, ridden with star clusters reflecting gas and dust behind them. Two of the biggest structures apparent in the image are LDN 774 & LDN 782, and if you look at 774 at the right angle you'll most likely notice it looks like the shape of the Loch Ness Monster, hence its name
