Bernes 149 in Scorpius

Hi all, untill I wait my HD containing all my fits back for reparation (got a crash and many of the files were not back-up ) here I go with one of the few images on the work-in-progress that got saved:

Bernes 149 in Scorpius

Bernes 149 is an obscure nebula complex consisting of the reflection nebula GN 16.05.2 at the center of an elongated dusty dark nebula. It is part of the LUPUS complex (actually it is also known as Lupus 3 cloud). I got a nice description of this object from Sakib Rasool that was also the one suggesting me this unknown target. Despite the relatively quite long exposure (in particular Luminance) I found this nebula fainter than expected, even if still manageable.

As usual I took this image from Coona using my 140APO.

Hope you will like it

Clear skies
