Description

For multiple reasons, I really enjoy capturing and processing dark, dust nebulae. The RASA 8 at F2 really allows these objects to come to life with shorter integrations time or more depth with longer integrations times.  My goal was to emphasize the dust without completely eliminating the star field.  The HII region on the right hand side the eastern edge of Sh2-129 which contains the giant squid nebula. 

Barnard 150 is a dark nebula in the large molecular cloud located in Cephas. Located 1,200 light years from Earth, the nebulae resides in the Milk Way plane with a deep rich star field.
