Description

I wasn't happy with this image but thought that since it covers a large area, some might find the dark nebula of interest. The very faint galaxy UGC 12160, mag. 15.5 (http://www.astrosurf.com/comolli/d181.htm), is located near the top within (bottom edge) of LDN 1251. I believe the dark nebula in lower center is LDN 1257.

This was the first clear moonless period in what seems like weeks and I rushed to set up my astrotrac without refining polar alignment. Thus the very short subs.
