VdB 126 and the Nessie Nebula

8/25
ASI2600MM, 580mm f/5.8, 14.5h (RGB 3x3.1h, Lum 5.1h)

A large starfield in constellation vulpecula is the home of several dark nebulae. This particular region is reminiscent of the Loch Ness Monster with a long neck, hence the name. Two reflection nebulae can be found right in its center, LBN 133 and LBN 134 resp. VdB 126.

The whole area still contains large amounts of matter. Illuminated from the light of all these stars, a soft haze is created on top.
