Plate XXXVIII — The Secret Chapter (the Hidden Page Nebula)
$9.49
Observing note
At first exposure the field shows a single modest cloud and nothing more. Switch filters and a second structure appears behind it, brighter and older, with a bright star at its heart that was clearly there all along. The house astronomer returned to it years after her first survey and found the mystery had been waiting. Southern summer, printed with a tissue overlay for the reveal.
