Description

The Shark Nebula (LDN 1235), a dark nebula in Cepheus, was available for more integration time than I might typically do on a target (15hrs+, weather permitting) due to some great weather in the Pacific Northwest in September.  This is only my second dark nebula and it was quite challenging to process.  Due to the FOV of my scope and camera setup, I was not able to get the wider view but it also allowed me to focus more on the nebula itself.   There's a lot of fascinating structure in the primary nebula as well as the surrounding area.
