Description

LDN 1235 or the Dark Shark Nebula is a beautiful dark nebula in the constellation of Cepheus which resembles our favorite ocean predator. It is comprised of dark dust which is faintly illuminated by the surrounding stars and is thus very difficult to image, requiring exceptionally dark skies and moonless nights.
