Description

Decided to do a re-process of this image.
https://www.astrobin.com/h29435/

Went from StarTools to using PI, with SPCC, GHS, BlurX, StarX and Topaz DenoiseAI (actually did better than NoiseX on this image)
Also did some minor star reduction using Bill Blanshan's tool.

Thanks for looking.
Clear Skies,
Pete

With one night available at my dark site Mt Pinos (elev 2530m) for this target,
I did my best to present this faint object with the integration time I have.

The Ghost Nebula (designated Sh2-136, VdB 141) is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus.
It lies near the cluster NGC 7023. The Ghost Nebula is referred to as a globule (cataloged CB230) and over 2 light-years across.
There are several stars embedded, whose emissions make the nebula shine in brownish color. (wikipedia)
