NGC 2736 – also known as the Pencil Nebula.
Even when objects in space are looking like if they are fragile and ultra fine you have to remember the huge size of it. I think it’s fascinating.
Due to clouds and more clouds and the fact that is on the southern part of the sky, the data is from @telescope.live and processing done by me.
