Description

Sometimes referred to as the Shark Nebula, this field of view contains reflection nebulas van den Bergh 149, 150 and Lynds Dark Nebula 1235 (the darkest dust region in the "nose" of the shark). Ten years ago, images displayed only the densest portions of the low surface brightness dust clouds, but images with more detail are appearing today.
