The most striking features are the two blue reflection nebulae near the bottom left of the image, NGC346 and NGC371, 1149 and 444 light years across respectively. Mid left and left bottom NGC361 and NGC416, seemingly smaller and insignificant visually in comparison but still with true scales of 91 and 71 light years across respectively. Below also is an annotated image so you can know perhaps better what all that's about.
Astronomy and Astrophotography by Michael Booth. I live in the south of Tasmania and in the breaks between the cloudy days and nights I like to get outside and enjoy observing and photographing the night sky.
