Description

VdB 146 is a small reflection nebula which is not very often imaged. It is illuminated by the young cluster NGC 7129. It should be exposured for longer time than the 1h45 here with subs a bit longer than the 90s I used. I added a synthetic L as I did not had photos from the L filter. The nebula is located 3,300 ly away in the constellation Cepheus. It is quite a complex nebula system. For those with longer focal length and more patience than me, it is a nice target.
You can also identify the tiny galaxy 2MFGC 16419 above the open star cluster. Don't tell me that you did not know it ?
