Hi Dan. A superb LDN 1251 and LDN 1257 dark nebula image from you, especially on the flickr site. A nice star field with the dark dust clouds in your capture. And, the annotated version showes lots of other goodies too. Thanks for sharing this work with us on here Dan and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award today.
