Interesting part of dark dust in Cepheus.
Centrally on this picture you can notice VdB 152 with blue giant lighting brightest part....to the left and below there is a blue area with red half-moon on left side- this is planetary nebula DeHt5 discorvered in 1979 by Dengel-Hartl. Brightest part of it is catalogued as LBN 538.
Setup: FSQ-106N, STL 11K, EM-11. Baader LRGB filters.

Another amazing result, Maciej. Nice job!

You almost encourage me to build an observatory right here in North County San Diego, which seems like it has to have better seeing conditions than Warsaw.

You really should publish a book of your work to show people what is possible under tougher seeing conditions. It is truly inspiring.

Maybe I'm remembering your site wrong. You are close to the city, right? If my memory is correct, you are actually in the city itself.

Nice! I always like dark nebula and a little bright spot makes it even better.

Nice shot! I'm still processing my data of this object taken last week. I hope it turns out as well as yours.
