Image Description and Details : LDN 1251 is a complex nebula in the constellation Cepheus, containing reflective dust and gas. Its nickname is the Rotten Fish Nebula. The acronym "LDN" refers to Lynd's Catalog of Dark Nebulae.

LDN 1251 is quite close to us, about 1,000 light years away.
When the light (emitted or reflected) of this nebula "left" to hit my photographic sensor, Robert II "the Pious" was king of France. William the Conqueror had just built the Tower of London and the Vikings arrived on Canadian soil.

Personally, I like "The Rotten Fish Nebula"

This exciting dark or reflection nebula can be found in the constellation Cepheus and is estimated to be about 110LY.
The recording was made with my Lacerta 800/200 Newton,
67 * 120 minutes RGB with the ASI1600pro in September,
199 * 240 minutes with the QHY268c in October,
N.i.n.a, Pixinsight and PS in progress.
