LDN 1082 - Dark Seahorse Nebula
By Carmelo Garcia de Rich
Also named Barnard 150. LDN 1082 is a dark filamentary molecular cloud. In its dense core it contains low-mass, low-luminosity Class 0 young stellar objects. Is located in constellation Cepheus, almost exaxtly in the middle between Flying Bat Nebula (Sh 2-129) and the Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) 2.5ºE. This object require more than one attempt to achieve a fine processing of intrincated nebula. I required many sessions because are many north's obstacles down 45 degrees.
