Description

This is normally imaged with a wide field setup and since I don't have a rig like that right now I decided I'd give it a try with my 12" newt.
That said, I'm not so sure I like this version just yet but its about the best I can do with it right now. I'm surprised with 21+ hours of data this isn't all that great and was extremely difficult to process. I'll be going back and reprocessing this but right now I need a break from it as its all just looking to be the same.

Barnard -175 is the dark dusky nebula sprawling upwards to vdB-152 which is a reflection nebula. They lye about 1400 light years away in the constellation Cepheus.
