Description

Reflection nebula Cederblad 51 is a small part of much larger Sh2-264 nebula, the Angelfish. Surprisingly, seldom photographed! Several Herbig-Haro objects are visible in the bottom right. 

This image is a tribute to @Goofi who was an active community member on Cloudynights.com and sadly passed away in 2019. His list of narrowband targets was incredibly helpful when I was just starting out many years ago.

Goofi used a narrowband photo of Cederblad 51 as his Cloudynights profile picture, colorized in his signature green style.
