Description

One of my main ideas/goals of the last autumn trip to the Bieszczady Mountains - Kraken's Head (Greek: Cetus) - a mythical sea monster. This constellation is famous for its many nice galaxies, but hardly anyone associates it with large dusty nebulae - and as you can see, there is a lot of dust from there. Interestingly, none of these dust objects has an entry in such popular catalogs as Barnard, van der Bergh, LBN or LDN, not to mention NGC and IC.
