Nebula vdB142 in IC1396 Complex in Cepheus

This beautiful nebula is located in IC1396 complex in Cepheus.

The above image was taken on September 16 & 18, 1999 from Sooke, B.C. Cookbook 245 LDC CCD camera was used on Celestron Ultima 8 f3.0 SCT autoguided with Cookbook CB211 LDC CCD camera on a piggybacked 500mm f8 telephoto lens. The image was composed of white integrations (11 x 4 min.) as well as cyan, magenta and yellow-filtered exposures (6 x 4min., 4 x 4min. and 4 x 4min., respectively) combined with AIP4WIN. Color image was then further adjusted in Lab color space using Corel PhotoPaint 8.
