The region around the Pipe Nebula (B78), the main part of the naked-eye formation of dark nebulas called the Dark Horse. In photos it breaks up into patches of dark nebulosity, including the tiny Snake Nebula (B72) at centre in Ophiuchus. The Lagoon and Trifid Nebulas are at far left.

I shot this the morning of May 4, 2014 from the Four Bar Cottages near the Arizona Sky Village near Portal, Arizona. This is a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures with the 135mm telephoto lens at f/2.8 and filter modified Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 1600. The camera was on the iOptron SkyTracker.
