Description

Progress into my project image of SH2 136 / Vdb 141 where I am currently half way done. I aim for around 25hours on this target to really push and see what I can make of it.

"The Ghost of Cepheus is a reflection nebula located in Cepheus on the edge of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex. There are several new stars embedded in the nebula itself which give it a brownish color. It is usually referred to as a Globule. This nebula spans about 2 light years across and lies about 1470 light years away. The star right in the middle of the nebula is a proto-star."
