Fantastic! It just oozes and crawls across the stars. Great job.

This shows how much of the interstellar dust is being illuminated behind the stars.

Hi Thomas,

iīm just wondering i couldnīt find your picture in one of the german speaking forums!?

I like your picture very much, iīm a big fan of dark nebulas anyway. If you would get rid of the gradient (greenish looking in the left upper corner) it would be A+. I use Gradient X Terminator to do so. But there are other (cheaper) ways too.

@all
Hello Forum, thanks for all the great comments. There are so many other targets in Cepheus still waiting to be imaged.

there is only a question of time.

The gradient in the upper left corner may due light pollution, the gradient in the bottom left corner comes from my flatfielding. I think the rotating shutter of my camera is not precise.

Very nicely done! Yes, dark nebulae pose a different challenge than "standard" nebulae.
