The Chamaeleon Molecular Cloud Complex III is rarely imaged as it is located far south at RA 12 36’ and Dec -79 56’ in the constellation of Chamaeleon.
The Molecular Cloud Complex presents a stunning vista of cosmic dust and small reflection nebulae.
A molecular cloud is an interstellar cloud of gas and dust in which molecules can form, the most common of which is hydrogen.

Imaged in LRGB on my Planewave DR 350 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
