Description

This region of molecular dust in Cepheus is made up of  LDN1251, LDN1243 and LBN 558. There are also several smaller (Herbig-Haro) star forming regions visible along with some distant (up to 100m light years away) galaxies.

This is probably the cleanest data I've managed to gather so far (the seeing must've been excellent - rare for the UK) which made processing somewhat easier and made it possible to pull out the fainter surrounding dust without introducing too much noise.
