Description

This year, it has become almost a habit of mine to photograph the magnificent objects found in the direction of the Cepheus constellation. It didn't happen any other way because of its ideal position. This is how the object named LDN 1235, the Dark Shark Nebula, came to the end of my 72/341 Lacerta telescope.
The increasingly long nights make it possible to collect photons for up to six or more hours on occasion. Being a passionate expatriate astophotographer, this is a serious challenge on weekdays. Once I'm out, I can't stop packing before the astrodark ends.
On three subsequent clear nights, we managed to collect a total of 18 hours and 35 minutes of exposure from the dark nebula complex LDN 1235.
