Description

Stretching across 3  degrees of arc is the long molecular cloud known as the Dark Doodad in Musca. Accompanying it are the two globular clusters designated NGC4372 and NGC4833 and hints of dark dust and gas.  Taken with a Samyang 135mm F2.0 lens and an ASI294MC camera from my backyard just for fun.
