In the top left corner, four types of nebula are visible. Emission Nebula (red), Reflection Nebula (Yellow and Blue)
and Dark Nebula which are the dark dust lanes running downwards toward the left.
These four different Nebula make up what is called the Rho Opiuchus Complex.
There is no artificial colouring or airbrushing. The colours are real.
