Adam Block recently published an excellent image of the
little-known reflection nebula near PV Cephei. Here it is:

Well, in his post he referred to the dust surrounding this nebula.
Naturally, since there was dust I got curious to see how much there
was. So I turned my telescope towards this region and came up with an
image of the dusty nebulae near PV Cephei.

It could use more time but it is now entering a part of the sky that I
can't image in (nearby town's light dome). This will have to do for now.
Comments/criticisms welcome.
