Description

Here's the Ghost Nebula, I think I have got the most out of this one in terms of dust hopefully not overdoing it.

The Ghost Nebula Sh2-136, VdB 141 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus.

It lies near the cluster NGC 7023. The Ghost Nebula is referred to as a globule and over 2 light-years across. There are several stars embedded, whose emissions make the nebula shine in brownish colour.
