LDN 1357 and vdB7, vdB9

Here is an interesting field (and a dim one that mightily challenged me). The image field contains principally LDN 1357, vdB7 (LBN643), and vdB9. There are also LDN 1355 and 1358 dimly seen. There is some other nebulosity in the image that I cannot find catalog references for - I suspect they may not be significant enough to catalog.

Hi Jim,
Nice image, interesting objects, I like dust! I sm sure it was not an easy capture.

Nice shot. Good processing on that dust - I would have guessed at more time on the exposure.

Hey Jim,

I like your processing! There is a 3D appearance as the dark dust clouds seem to float in front of the bright star.
