The Pipe Nebula
The Pipe Nebula is a dark nebula in the Ophiuchus constellation and a part of the Dark Horse Nebula. It is a large but readily apparent smoking pipe-shaped dust lane that obscures the Milky Way star clouds behind it. This image taken on the RH 350 wide field scope only shows a portion of the Pipe Nebula.
