Hi all. This was as it turned out way too ambitious for my location. I had to shoot directly over my house and into light pollution from a public light. It is exceptionally feint and really needs at least double the data, but i felt it worth posting as it's not a common target on this site.

Located in the constellation of Cepheus this molecular cloud is rated as 5 and 6/6 in Lynds bright nebula catalog with 6 being the most feint. It's a tiny part of much larger complex. 

Taken over two nights in March, this is 8.3 hrs in 180 second subs.

Even just looking on my phone I think this looks great Richard. Nice and dusty! You certainly wouldn't know it was shot through LP.
