Description

Widefield view of LDN 1181 and other surrounding objects in Cepheus. I was particularly interested in the little tendrils of dark nebulae to the lower right of the main object. The 288mm focal length was a bit awkward for this target with not being long enough to do the main target justice, but too narrow to really show the surrounding dust. But I was surprised how much H-a came through in the final image.

This is about 7.5 hours integration time with my CEM40, 60mm doublet, and 2600MC-P camera in B-3 skies. One session was shot at gain 0, 180-second subs, and the second I wanted to try the lower-noise threshold at gain 100 and 120-second subs.
