RCW 71 – Chile

RCW 71 is a small, but striking emission nebula buried in the larger Coalsack Nebula down in Chile. It really sticks out like
an isolated red island in the darkness of the Coalsack, and contrasts nicely with the great wall of stars on the left.

PlaneWave 12.5″ Astrograph with an STL11000 cmaera, Astrdon filters and an ASA gearless DDM-85 mount. F/8 LRGB (45/8min L, 8/8min each 2×2 RGB).
