Description

Barnard 171 is a dark nebula located in Cepheus. I captured 4 hours of LRGB data in a single night at a dark sky site south of Dixon, IL. It could stand to use more data and a wider FOV would benefit this image but I'm happy with the end results at this time. I have since purchased a Stellarvue 0.8x FF/FR and may have to revisit this object later this year.
