Taurus Dark cloud Nebulae

[MariusD69]

Hello!

Barnard 22, a complex dark nebula in the molecular cloud of Taurus (parts of it-B14, B220, LDN1527, LDN1528, LDN1532, LDN1534). Unfortunately, the weaker transparency and too little exposure time did not allow me to catch the diffuse dust in the area. Inside the dark nebula is a small reflection nebula, IC 2087- Little Flame nebula.
I made the capture on Wednesday, in not very great conditions of seeing and transparency. Although I used the refractor (at a focal length of 380mm, resolution of 2 arcsec / px), it still felt turbulent in the blur of the stars. The stacks came out noisier than usual due to the poor transparency of the sky.
Setup: TS 80mm apo F6; 0.79x FR / FF; ASI1600MM Pro.
Frames: 70x2 minutes L, 20x2 minutes each RGB channel. Total exposure 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Clear skies!

Congratulations Marius, what a great image and worthy of today’s TSS APOD. The nebula looks a little like the Monster drink logo. I'm a fan of those dark nebulae - need to try this one.

I know that the sky gave you some challenging conditions, but to me, the image is really nice!

I like the stars, the colors, and the star of the show is spectacular!
