Description

Several LDNs and LBNs (LBN 133 & 134, LDN 768, 769, 772, 773, 774, 775, 779) in the constellation Vulpecula form the dark nebula structures that stand out against a carpet of stars and resemble the shape of the "Monster of Loch Ness." Additionally, there are two beautiful reflection nebulae in the area. This object was the perfect target for a moonless, short summer night, combined with the RASA 8 telescope at f/2.

During the editing process, I tried to bring out the delicate structures in the dark nebulae, avoiding creating a nearly completely black area. Moreover, I aimed to preserve and enhance the color variety not only among the larger stars but also among the countless smaller ones to achieve greater depth. I hope you like it!
