Unveiling the haunting beauty of the Dark Wolf Nebula (LDN 1235), a captivating region where dark interstellar dust contrasts against a backdrop of glowing hydrogen and scattered starlight. Resembling the silhouette of a wolf, this cosmic formation lies hidden in the constellation Cepheus.
π Target: LDN 1235 (Dark Wolf Nebula)
π Location: Constellation Cepheus, approximately 1,000 light-years away
π Apparent Magnitude: Diffuse and faint
π Apparent Size: ~1 degree
About the Region:
The nebulaβs dark shape is a result of dense molecular clouds that obscure the light of background stars. Embedded within are faint reflection nebulae, glowing faintly from nearby starlight. This region is an active site for star formation, making it a treasure trove for astrophotographers and astronomers alike.
π¨ Processing Details:
This image enhances the intricate textures of the dark nebula, highlighting its interplay with the surrounding faint emission and reflection regions. A balance of subtle contrasts brings out the nebula's enigmatic beauty.
Lights: 31x300" each filter LRGB
Instrument: Telescope Planewave CDK24, Camera QHY 600M, Filters Astrodon Luminance, Red, Green, Blue
Processed: PixInsight
