Description

The Galactic Cirrus near the South Celestial Pole is beautiful and mysterious, befitting these largely inaccessible  regions for many. 

Living at -45 latitude allows for extended imaging of these regions, and this image features part the "Last Unexplored Nebula" in Mandel-Wilson catalogue (MW9). 

The chance superposition with the IC4633 galaxy group gives a windswept look to these galaxies as they poke out from behind the obscuring cirrus.
