Wonders of Lacerta - 3 panels mosaic or how to name a nebula

[Mark72]

Hi,

This part of sky is rarely imaged; so I tried my luck with these 3 panels (pains) mosaic with its horrible gradients

To the left is LBN 437. It reminds me a deep ocean creature like this one - http://ocean.nationa...-sea-creatures/

May be we can call it Frilled Shark Nebula. To the right in the top is SH2-126 - something a la California nebula.

As a part 2 of this project I'm going to process the fish separately.

Good work- and as you say rarely seem on here.

Really very nice image. I haven't spotted LBN 437 or Sh2-126 yet, might give them a try.

Really weird looking fish, BTW

Some nice detail in there Mark, what equipment did you use to capture it?

That's an interesting nebula, not one I'm familiar with. Well put together. I guess gradients are a fact of life at F2 with a large chip, you've done a good job sorting them
