Description

The Polaris Flare is a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The filaments may have been formed by ancient shockwaves.

In the Mandel-Wilson catalogue as an IFN object with designation MW 1.

Shot at f/2. No guiding/dithering unfortunately as I don't typically use a computer with the Star-Adventurer.
