Description

The van den Bergh catalog is probably my favorite. Unfortunately a lot of the objects are quite small for a medium fov telescope such as mine. When I first started looking into VdB 2  I was only able to find a couple old low resolution examples of it. At first glance it's size wasn't very inspiring but when looking survey data of the area there were hints if other activity so I took a gamble and began collecting data. Luckily, the gamble paid off. Turns out there is a multitude of other objects in close proximity. Everything from void clouds to tiny emission nebulae. This is hands down my favorite of all the images I've produced this year.
