Description

Imaging in a dark location changes everything. I never try these dark nebulae from the city, I stick mostly stick to narrowband. Since I was in a really dark site for a star party, I had to try this target.

Dark nebulae are amongts my favorites deep sky objets. The data was captured over 2 nights in Lac Écho, Québec, Canada.
This object is LDN (Lynds Catalog of Dark Nebulae) 1251 located about 1,000 light-years away. It is a star forming clound in the Cepheus region.
