IC4592 and IC4601 in Scorpius

Tivoli/Namibia

IC4592 is a reflection nebula and part of a huge molecular cloud. Such clouds normally appear dark, like in the lower part of above image, but can scatter back the blue light of young, hot stars like Nu Scorpii, the 'eye' of the horse shaped nebula.
IC4601 is the blue reflection nebula in the upper right corner.
