Description

Holloween is just around the corner! Which astrophotographer will dress up like this?

Right next to the famous "Iris Nebula" NGC7023, the VdB 141, or SH2-136, is a small reflective nebula locates in the Constellation Cepheus. Another interesting object in this fabulous region full of gas and dust. Wasn't sure about the original of the name until I saw the two small figures to the left of the main illuminated part, seemingly humen (or ghosts?) looking up to the dark clouds with arms extended. 

This is a challanging project for me. Apparently I wasn't generous enough on data collection, and had a tough time on bringing out the contrast and dusty strucutre I originally imagined without being impacted by noise. Final presentation appears a bit "dirty" for that reason...
