Description

A patch of dark nebula near the Cygnus/Aquila border. The exact catalogue name of the nebula is unknown to me, as this image was captured back in June/July whilst waiting for the milky way to rise properly. This FOV was found using Aladin, which is an excellent tool for overlaying catalogue data on to the night sky. This just looked like a nice patch of sky to image. There is about 12hrs of data here. I am more an emission line fan but these dusty images do look really good and I intend to do more later
