Here is an image of LDN 1251. Its processed a bit heavy to show the dark regions. This is considered a star forming region. I may check out a few more dusty regions this fall / winter. Anyway, image and details are here:

That is very nice Jim! I really enjoy seeing these images of lesser known objects that you do so well.
