Boogeyman Nebula and Barnard's Loop
In this image, the dark nebula "Boogeyman", made of gas and dust that blocks the light behind, creeps toward the glowing hydrogen gas of Barnard's Loop.
This image was captured using RGB and Luminance filters to obtain a "true" color image. An image of the hydrogen gas [to the right] was blended with the first image to bring out the beautiful details and coloration of the Loop itself.
