Clouds in Antlia

Image name – Clouds in Antlia

 One of the smaller constellations in the southern skies is that of Antlia. Not many well-known or even photogenic deep sky objects reside in this constellation but what is intriguing about is the large clouds of hydrogen gases which abound. Seen here is an 8 panel mosaic of one of the striking shapes of hydrogen gases seen in Antlia. The mosaic tools in Pixisnight make the stitching of this rather large mosaic a breeze…
