In the dark reaches of space there are columns of molecular dust that span light years and are illuminated by nearby stars. This nebula is part of a large and complex region.
The narrowband Optolong l-eXtreme filter brings out the rich nebulosity of this large structure by filtering out everything by the hydrogen alpha and OIII wavelengthss. The image was blended with stars from a broadband exposure for context.
