Description

This widefield image consists of the extremely dusty patch of the Cepheus constellation. The region contains a plethora of dark and bright nebulae belonging to the Lynd's dark and bright sky catalogue, the more notable of them being the three nebulae named after the fishes LDN 1251 or the Rotten fish  or Angler fish Nebula, LDN 1235 or the Shark Nebula,  and VBD 152 or Barnard 175 also sometimes referred as the Eel nebula, which all seem to be engrossed in some sort of a race.
