This is a very interesting composition of this region and it really suits these particular features.

I've noticed the most prominent of them, off to the right, recently and was wondering how to focus on this and process it as a feature - thanks for a great example of the possibilities.

I love the two jets emanating from the top of the feature I think David's referring to on the right.  Apparently caused by the solar wind from a young star behind the dark cloud...

I hadn't noticed those jets! Thanks!

That's just freaky isn't it? ? I'm going to read up on this region a bit to see what else is going on.

HH555 specifically! The two lighter blobs just the the left of the central pillar are also HH objects.

Really nice framing at this FL
