Description

This is my second attempt at this very dim, dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus.  The seeing conditions last night were less than ideal, but it was clear, so I went for it.  After attempting the Cat's Paw nebula, which is so low on the horizon for me, I gave up on that and went mid north.  I successfully imaged this last year, but I think that this attempt is much better.  The temp here last night was around 75 F, with a windspeed of 10 mph, and very high humidity, so, as I said, not ideal.  I love a challenge in this hobby we all share!  Clear Skies!
