Barnard 150 - The Seahorse Nebula
Dark Nebula with dust in Cepheus
Uploaded 11/20/22

 
This
            very seldom imaged dark nebula in Cepheus is riding high in the
            north during cold autumn evenings. Superimposed on a rich colorful
            Milky Way field of stars, this tendril of dust is dense and lets
            very little light through. The brown-yellow surrounding nebulosity
            is less dense dust and is extremely faint by comparison.
