Image Details:

This Nebula is mixed with bright nebulosities the dust clouds effectively block light from more distant background stars. this is a reflection nebula which means its light is coming from the hot stars which are blue in color and reflected by the cosmic dark dust. The Large dark nebula Bernes 157 is on the left. To its right are a group of pretty reflection nebulae cataloged as NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812.
This Image is captured from pristine dark skies in Chile, with the help of the remote observatory through Telescope Live, remote telescope is very helpful for astrophotograhers who lives in city light, it's hard to stars here in city due to light pollution, which is increasing day by day.
