Star-eating Leech -- vdB 152/Cedarblad 201 in Cepheus
I have never imaged this dim object and so I thought I'd give it a try. You know, try something easy - hah. Anyway, I think it looks like a cosmic monster sucking up stars as it crawls along -- look, there are three in a row ready to be eaten!!
http://www.tvdavisastropics.com/astr...s-1_00001b.htm I found this region challenging to process with all it's subtle details. I hope you like it. Comments/criticisms are welcome. Best, Tom Davis Inkom, ID
