Description

These faint molecular clouds / dark nebulae are about 1,000 light-years away, belonging to the large complex of dark nebulae in the Cepheus region. When processing this image I used a starless approach and also selectively utilized the excellent NoiseXT which allowed me to bring out a lot of faint nebulosity.
