RCW 75
RCW 75 is an emission nebula in the Centaurus constellation, around 6500 light years from earth.
The spectacular mountainlike structures throughout are the results of the presence of open cluster Stock 16 (the massive blue stars spread throughout). The powerful stellar winds from these stars is essentially interacting with the interstellar gas/dust and "carving" out said structures.
Image acquisition details:
20x1800" HA
7x1200" Luminance
12x1200" Red
12x1200" Green
12x1200" Blue
