Description

First time my boy and I agreed  on what this object looks like. It is a shark. LDN1235 locates at constellation Cepheus and 652 light years away from earth.  It is made of thick interstellar dust, which blocks most of the light behind it except two blue reflection nebulas.   It is faint,  you won't see much signal on each sub. 


Subs:
L: 40x600s
R/G/B(2x2): 15x300s each
