Barnard 150
An image of the sinuous dark nebula Barnard 150. Two smaller dark nebulae, B148 and B149, are also framed in this picture. They are to the right of B150. But first you will probably notice the open cluster NGC 6939 and the spiral galaxy NGC 6946. Located in Cepheus, this pair is a must see.
