Description

The first object in van den Bergh's catalogue of nebula isn't exactly a standard target. Maybe it is overlooked by the nearby Pacman (NGC 281). I visited this object twice so far. This is my second attempt using an ASI294MCPro which I was granted to test at that time. I had vdB1 centered by TheSkyX and let go. Had I better checked the framing, I might have positioned Caph (beta Cassiopeiae) not that close to the edge. Anyway, I really like the impression of a rising sun while the morning nebula is clearing. Enjoy!
