Barnard 150 – The Seahorse Nebula

Barnard 150 – The Seahorse Nebula

Barnard 150 or The Seahorse Nebula, about 1200 Light Years away from Earth, is a dark molecular cloud of dust in Cepheus constellation. It is almost exactly in the middle between the Flying Bat Nebula (Sh2-129) and the Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946).

The constellation Cepheus is circumpolar, but it is highest in the sky in the months of April to January and the nebula can therefore be observed best then.

This was captured over multiple nights the past two months from Starfront #SFRO in Texas.
