Hi all, here's two reflection nebula, VDB149 and VDB150 along with a dark nebula, LDN1235 and bright nebula LBN535 which all together are most commonly known as the Shark Nebula. LBN535 makes up a majority of what we see as the shark, with the eye being defined by LDN1235 and the two vdb reflection nebula just features on the shark. There's also a beautiful face on spiral, PGC67671 just behind the sharks fin which seems a fantastic target for bigger scopes! The entire area is around 15 lightyears across and 650 lightyears distant from us. The annotated image gives an idea of the various objects which comprise the Shark. This image is comprised of about 10 hours of exposure, 5 hours of luminosity in 60 second subframes and then 5 hours total of R G and B images in 2 and 3 minute subframes.
