Description

Located about 1.400 light-years aways in the constellation Cepheus, vdB 152 is a blue reflection nebula that glows at the bottom of a dark globule called Barnard (B) 175. The dark area connected to vdB is called a "Bok globule", i.e. a dense accumulation of cosmic dust from which stars are often born.

Processing this target has been quite a journey. As a matter of fact, I have learned new techniques especially how to blend Ha or Oiii into LRGB. The final rendition is not perfect, but for such challenging target, I am already content with. More to come...

Clear skies,
A.
