This is a great subject to shoot. Lies way down at -77 degrees. It is an image of part of the large, reddish brown cloud CHA1 in Chamaleon – one of the nearest active star forming regions. The whole region is shrouded in a brown sugary dust, and has several interesting features scattered in it.

The bright central yellowish feature is CED 110. It is a double star system. The primary component is an 8th magnitude star that
is illuminating the area surrounding it – including the lamb’s head object above it. The beautiful reflection nebula below is CED 111. An especially dark and articulated dust cloud forms a triangle to the upper right with the 2 CED objects.

Note the small edge-on galaxy at the top right of the picture.
