Description

Basically there's this dust patch in Camelopardalis - fairly tightly circling Polaris.  How anyone ever saw and cataloged in I'll never understand.

I stretched this image beyond imagination as I processed it for the third time.  The first was so bad I deleted it.  The second I kept but it was horrid - this one, well it's the best I can do with almost 28 hours of exposure from a f7 esprit 120ed and the 2600mc camera.  

LBN 629 is a cloud in the constellation Camelopardalis, which is located in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is part of the Catalogue of Lynds' Bright Nebulae.

Personally I see a stretched view of Willie G.
