Description

I usually image in narrowband from my backyard in Greater Manchester and I have forgotten how nice it is shooting in broadband! Being on holiday in the southern Tuscan countryside, I can enjoy some relatively dark skies (Bortle 4/5) so I have pointed my camera to the beautiful dust clouds and reflection nebulae in Cepheus.
Pictured in the image are the Rotten Fish Nebula LDN1251 (top), the Shark Nebula LDN1235 (centre), and LBN528 (bottom), which though doesn't have a proper name, I like to think it is a sea lamprey, making the whole image an underwater scenery!

Description: I've added 2 hours of Ha data. In hindsight not enough, at least it shows the main Ha features near LBN528!
