Description

LDN 1217 (center of the field) is a Bok globule where dust condenses to form protostars.  This is a very busy field....and an extremely star filled field in the constellation Cepheus.  I reduced the stars to show some of the very nice nebulae and blended in the H-alpha data.  There's 18 each LRGBHa subs @600s for a total exposure time of 15 hours.  The data is courtesy of Telescope Live's SPA-1 (Takahashi FSQ-106ED/FLI PL 16803) scope at the IC Astronomy Observatory, Spain.
Hope ya like it!
