Perseus molecular cloud
The Perseus molecular cloud complex, about 1,000 light-years from Earth, contains two notable areas of star formation: the IC 348 star cluster on the lower left, and NGC 1333 (VdB 17) on the upper right. Other DSOs in this extent include: Barnards 1,3,5, 202, 204, 203, 205, 206; and reflection nebulae VdB 12 (yellow), VdB 13 (blue), and VdB 16 (blue).
Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 50 x 60 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing with Astro Pixel Processor and GIMP, taken on Nov. 20, 2019 under Bortle 2/3 skies. This dust is faint - I pushed the data pretty hard; APP was great for maintaining good color despite the pushing.
