LDN 1221 : A mane of dust in Cepheus

[afesan]

This is an rare imaged target at cepheus. A Lynd´s dark nebula surrounded with a "hair flow" like a blowing wind all around.

 I had to invest almost 10 hours into the L filter in order to battle against light pollutions..as although my remote observatory is at a dark site ( 21.3-21.7 skies)..north is damaged with some light pollution from a minor village..
