This is a nice blue reflection nebula in Cepheus. This was taken at the WUTS star party in Wyoming.
18" f4.5 JMI Newtonian telescope with an SBIG ST_2000XM CCD camera. 10, 10, 7,10 minute LRGB exposures respectively. Dark skies, low background in images. Under a dryline at the time. Enjoy! 8)

Excellent image despite the short subs, Joe! This goes to show what dark skies and lots of aperture can do. Wonderfully done!
