Description

This extremely faint object, which resembles a shark, contains two small blue reflection nebulae: vdB149 and vdB150. Imaging this area was a real challenge! When I examined the first 3 minute sub, I could not detect any nebulosity. At that point in time, I almost gave up, but decided to persevere in the hopes that the final stacked image would show something. I'm glad I kept going.
