Description

Roughly this time last year I completed my project on the "Cosmic Questionmark", and I found it amazing to see the universe grouping celestial objects with interesting shape. Here I present another one: the "Cosmic Checkmark" 

LBN 534 is an isolated and elongated molecular cloud in the constellation of Andromeda, sits about 1400 light years from us and spans around 36 light years in its length. On the "tip" of the cloud there is a small reflective nebula VdB 158. There is a tiny blue planetary nebula PLN 110-12.1 that you can't find because it's just outside to the right edge of this framing... Of course I didn't know until I finished
