Description

In the midst of months of Moonlight, bad weather and smoke there there was a single clear night a month ago to try my first attempt at a dark/reflection nebula.

I struggle with LRGB integrations and post - can't seem to get something that I like as much as inspiring others are doing. My stars aren't the right color, the brightest spots are blown out, the light nebulosity isn't rich enough, etc.

The Shark Nebula is a part of a large molecular cloud in the constellation Cepheus.Within LDN 1235 there are two blue reflection nebulae, vdB149 and vdB150, that are illuminated by nearby spectral type B8IV stars. (Sky & Telescope)

CS & GB!
