Description

Though more commonly known as the Rotten Fish Nebula or Lynds Dark Nebula, I like the term Angler Fish Nebula better though have only seen that reference a few times.  LDN 1251 is part of a dark molecular cloud nebulosity in Cepheus, adjacent to the Dark Shark Nebula, LDN 1235. Though a dim and difficult target, shooting over a moonless night really helped.
