The reflection nebula NGC 6914 in Cygnus lies within a dense field of emission and dark tendrils of dust. “To me these reflections form the eyes of what look like an eldritch monster, formed by the dark nebulae and ridge formations in the emission nebulae,” the imager writes. The shot represents 17 hours of exposure across SHO and RGB filters with a 6-inch f/4 reflector.
