      Description

      B174 is another great dark nebula, which is embedded in the gigantic sea of stars of our Milky Way. In addition to another nebula from Barnard's catalog (B173), some LDNs and LBNs have found their way into the field of view. I especially like the very gentle reddish glow from the ionized hydrogen that shows up in the background.
