constellation Scorpio

Object description:
Our image shows the region around nebula
IC 4628 (GUM 55) in the southern part of the
constellation Scorpio. Besides many open star clusters and faint, reddish
emission nebulae, this region in the Milky Way is dominated by a large number
of dark clouds. In the upper right of the image a small part of the ARA OB 1
stellar association is still visible. It is a 4 frame mosaic, taken with a
telephoto lens of 200mm focal length.

This
wide-angle image shows a section of the region already captured with
85mm focal lenght on a larger scale. There you will also
find a detailed object description.
