Description

Data acquired, mostly, in the early hours when light pollution is definitely less of an issue.  I have shot some parts of this region in the past but never this specific "strip" of dust in Taurus.
Taken with the usual tandem setup:   StarFire EDF acquiring L using Moravian C5 and Stowaway shooting OSC using ASI2600MC.

Watch out for the tiny (at this scale) PK174-14.1 planetary nebula (easier to find in the annotated image) towards the left edge of the mosaic.  Also called Haro 3-29.  See here for more details: https://www.deepskycorner.ch/obj/h3-29.en.php
