Description

A dark cloud of dust located between the constellations of Auriga and Taurus. I stumbled upon this object and thought why not just roll with it. A lot of very interesting galaxies are found within the dust, but also one new to me planetary - PN H 3-29 (69.348 25.04)

I may have to reshoot all of the red data as it contributed a significant amount of noise. In the end very little noise reduction was used, but I am still not satisfied with the data as a whole. More luminance and will need to redo the composition.
