The Seahorse Nebula
Image Description and Details : This dark nebula lies at a distance of 1200 light-years from Earth in the Constellation of Cepheus. Because the nebula is in the Milky Way's plane it stand outs from the background filled with colourful stars of our galaxy, a keen eye can also distinguish three separate dense dust cores that actually are star formation regions.
Taken from my self-built remote observatory in Finland with SkyWatcher Esprit 100mm f/5.5, ZWO ASI1600MM-C, Losmandy G11, guided with ASI224MC as finder-guider, TS Optics LRGB filters.
L: 262x120s, R: 92x120s, G: 100x120s, B: 80x120s.
Total integration time is ~18 hours.
