But the sharp and detailed image (Wolfgang threw away all images showing seeing worse than 1.1 arc-sec) also demonstrates numerous astrophysical phenomena, as it peeks into a star-birth region. The scene shows dramatic clash of the gravity, trying to create new stars from globules of interstellar gas, and the strong stellar winds originating from already born young massive and bright stars, tearing the clouds apart sooner than they become too dense and gravity wins and creates new stars and possibly planets circling around them.

Image was taken with C3-61000 PRO camera on 60 cm (24”) ASA600 RC telescope with f/4.5 focal reducer.
