NGC 7841, known as the Smoke Nebula, is found in the modern constellation of Frustriaus, the frustrated astrophotographer. Only a few light-nanoseconds from planet Earth, The Smoke Nebula is not an expanding supernova remnant along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, though it does look a lot like one; instead it was created by flash photography of rising smoke. A single exposure and three external flashes were triggered to capture the not-quite-cosmic snapshot.
