Well, it didn't take me long but I'm back imaging dust. Here is LBN438 in Lacerta. It has the appearance of a cometary globule. I find the multicolored dust to be very beautiful.

I hope you enjoy it.

Comments welcome.

Awesome image Tom. Looks like you got a galaxy to the lower right of the globule.

That's really beautiful Tom.

It has a ghostly,eerie feel to it.Looks kinda like a face with an open mouth at the end of the dense area.
The little spirals even have some sharp detail!

It sure looks like a good Ha target but I guess that's not the case here?

Well done,it's stunning!
