Continuing with the CGs, this one took really loooong, from mid January to mid February. Alas, CG season is also rain season in Namibia. Good for the country, but not so much for astrophotography.
Part of the ever growing CG catalog here at Photography > Astrophotography > Cometary Globules.
As always, more details at Astrobin.
