Description

For the first time, I wanted to experience the possibility of shooting, from a discrete but still urban sky, a nebular complex formed mainly of dust and dark clouds. In astrophotography they represent the most complicated subjects precisely because of their molecular structure and the absence of large stars capable of reflecting their light on these dust clusters. Pictured here is the complex on the border between Cepheus and Draco with LDN 1157 in the centre. Dark nebulae are largely made up of hydrogen, helium and interstellar dust.
