Barnard 10 & Co

[groberts]

Located northeast (left) of Pleiades, south of California Nebula and north (above) of Aldebaran, spanning more than 30^o of the night sky is the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC), a rich area of dark nebulae punctuated by bright areas of new star formation.  The image captures numerous, complex dark nebulae across the field-of-view, including Barnard 10 & 214, LDN 1495 & VdB 27, together with bright reflection nebulae LBN 782 & 785 and the odd galaxy – if you look carefully.

Captured over x4 night from 6th November to 15th January between the otherwise unrelenting cloud & rain!
