Rather happy with the SNR for this dim object, considering the limited integration time
Description: One of the most interesting parts of the nebula is the bright part on the top left. This nebula is called Gyulbudaghian’s Nebula. This bipolar reflection nebula is generated by shock waves from a contracting protostar, PV Cephei. The nebula changes its shape and luminosity very fast, as illustrated below in the small animation. Thanks to Bernhard Zimmermann, Jerry Macon, Thomas V. Davis, Lloyd ‘Deep Sky West’ and Leo Shatz for providing me with their images for this animation.

If this user has been harassing you, and you shadow-ban them, all their activities on your content will be invisible to everyone except themselves.
They will not know that they have been shadow-banned, and the goal is that eventually they will get bored while having caused no harm, since nobody saw what they posted.
You will remove your shadow-ban on this user, and their comments, messages, etc, will appear again on your content.
Such limitation improves the website as a whole by discouraging people from creating fake accounts to like their own content. Thank you for understanding!
