Description

Well, it was mostly over a weekend and I'm sure you don't pronounce the surname of the Swedish Astronomer Claes Bernes  that way, but it seemed like a good title at the time.
Was probably pushing my luck imaging a dark nebula from home in Auckland at Bortle 5 (as opposed to up at Langs Beach which is more Bortle 3)  and with the light dome of Auckland city towards the south but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally get some clear skies with no moon.
Quite enjoying imaging these dark nebulae and hopefully improving my processing of these tricky little dusty devils.
