Description

With the unusual prospect of some moonless clear nights what better target than some dark nebulae. Here is a group of LDN objects on the Cepheus/Draco border including LDN 1147 and a few others.
This target was brighter than I expected and I was able to get a good result with a small number of sub exposures - I thought it would take a lot longer.
I think this ring of dust looks like a coiled dark dragon with it's head lower left. YMMV
