About this image

This has taken a long time to finish off - initially started 2 years ago, but lost a lot of Blue frames with weather conditions over and over, then Mars got in the way (!), losing track of what was already captured (!!), and finally got enough data this year (mostly in blue, but wanted to balance out collection).

Located in Taurus, Barnard 22 surrounds several yellowish reflection nebulae, including IC2087. Spot blue coloured planetary nebula Haro 3-27 off towards the lower left of the frame. Part of the wider TCM-1 molecular cloud.
