LDN43

It really does look like a bat, and hence its name, The Cosmic Bat Nebula. This dark nebula, LND 43, is located in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It is obscuring a larger bright nebula behind it, LBN 7. LBN 7 is the illuminated dust surrounding the dark nebula.

Jean-Louis that's looking really good and not only that, we can also tell from it that it was taken from somewhere in the Southern hemisphere.

Apologise for the rather pathetic and subtle attempt at humour.
