Description

The upper part of the image shows the very faint 1.32 billion year old IC 166 (left) and NGC 654, in the middle of the image NGC 663 and Cr 51 and below NGC659 "Yin-Yang-Cluster" and NGC 581 (M103).
With Bortle 5 it was not easy to make the dark nebulae, especially LDN 1332, LDN 1334 and LDN1237  visible, and I am happy that at least something was successful.
