Lbn 552

I processed this image last year, but wasn't satisfied with the result. So I let the raw frames to rest in my hard disk until recently, when I gave them a second try, with much better results. Therefore I decided to show you my latest effort.
LBN552, is a molecular cloud in Cepheus, not a really easy target, but once you get a decent sky you can start to dig something out of it (with much non-linear stretching during post-processing, though).

Comments and criticism always welcome!

Looks quite good Nicola, you've picked up a lot of the faint dusty regions which is great! Nice work

Hi Nicola,

La prima elaborazione was not as good as this one !
That was a good idea to give it a second chance

Very nice pic !

The dust is nicely captured and the colorful starfield makes the shot. Very nice indeed.
