Pic Notes
IC 4605 is a Nebula in the Scorpius constellation. IC 4605 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 4.7, IC 4605 is barely visible to the naked eye, easily visible with the help of a small binocular. The nebula complex around IC 4605 is located approximately 400-700 light-years away from Earth. It's a reflection nebula situated within the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud in the constellation Scorpius. This region is known for active star formation and is considered one of the closest star-forming regions to our solar system.
