Finn's Nebula discovered

An amateur astrophotographer discovered a beautiful reflection nebula around a variable star in the northern skies.
Not by luckily imaging and investigating the results. But by tediously going through online data from IRIS and others And once he found something interesting in that data, he held his equipment at it and shot 30 secs exposures - amassing over 100GB of raw data in 35 hours.

Et voila, it's a not before known nebula and very very beautiful, I think.

Finn is his nephew, whose 2nd birthday it was yesterday. Hence the name and the going public on that date.

In his YT clip he explains in (some form of ) German how he discovered it. And from 5:41 ff, we cruise around the area and explore the wispy beauty in its golden glory.
