Description

I completed this object just as the clouds were rolling in.  I used standard processing except I used Starnet2 to separate out the stars from the main image of interest.  With that I could enhance the nebulosity and dust clouds and de-emphasize the stars.

VdB 152 is the bright nebula in the center of the image.  Barnard 175  is the slightly dark area surrounding the bright star directly below VdB152.  PK111+11.1 is the red/blue planetary nebula near the upper left edge of the photo.  The Astrobin plate solves failed since the displayed image had the stars suppressed.
