Description

This object is a rarely imaged obscure dim dark nebula located 600 light years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia at a declination of +75 degrees. The nebula is about 25 arc-minutes long, which corresponds to a length of 4 light years.

This is a dark, dim object without much structure.  The nebula doesn't show up in the subs, nor do many stars to help guide you. It took me a while to get it centered. But it is interesting in its own way. I thought that the object was only seen in the center of the image and slightly to the right, but obviously the dust cloud faintly extends far left, up and down as well.
