Description and Details: It's been a while since I imaged this one. The Wolf/Fenrir Nebula (SL-17/RCW113/Gum55) is a dark nebula in a star-forming region located in the constellation Scorpius dominated by hydrogen emissions depicted by the red emission nebula areas. The star-forming areas are located around the young blue stars but much of the older stars are hidden behind the dark opaque areas of dust and gas.
