Description

This is nr 150 in Barnard Catalogue of Dark Markings in the Sky and is usually presented as a quite dark, even black, nebula. However, using a starless approach on RASA data to stretch the nebulosity I find that Barnard 150 is far from black, but quite colourful and part of a larger area of faint nebulosity including some blue reflection nebulae. A bonus in this image is the grand design spiral galaxy NGC6946, aka The Fireworks Galaxy.
