Another take on vdB 136 with my big scope

[Stuart Heggie]

This is an area of sky with lots of LDN and LBN objects. I was drawn to vdB 136 because it is an orange reflection nebula which is kinda cool. 

This version was taken with my 12.5" CDK and ancient but still going strong Apogee U16M ccd camera. I imaged this target concurrently with my widefield and long focal length. This is the longer one.

Details re exposure times and processing choices below the HaRGB and RGB images. 

Hope you like it!
