Description

LDN1089 is a seldom imaged area of Cepheus.  I was drawn to this target for the challenge of balancing the intricate dust with the colorful star field and numerous background galaxies. 

The data was collected over many nights with the moon below the horizon using my TOA150 at Sierra Remote Observatories.  It has been a rather cloudy summer and clear nights have been a rarity.  Still, I was able to piece together over 15 hours of luminance data.

Thanks for stopping by.
