Deep Space 32 - Wolf's Head Nebula

Speeding away from Metropolis 1, a City of Light some thousand light years distant on the far side of the Orion Spur, the Hullbull Remote Space Telescope discovers another uncatalogued nebula in a densely starred region of the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. The center of this nebula contains a grand star-forming region housing a cluster of intensely hot blue stars.

 

Not a real space photo. Light art.

 

Composite of two exposures: first exposure using Waterworld technique (handheld) to create the nebula patterns. Second exposure on tripod using LEDs to create dense small starfield using method involving water droplets and white, yellow, red, and blue LEDs. Waterworld nebula pattern and dense starfield patterns completed using 100mm macro lens.
