vdB141 / Sh2-136: The Ghost Nebula
Spooky shapes in a large swathe of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud about 1120ly distant. Towards the bottom is Sh2-136: The Ghost Nebula, a reflection nebula and Bok globule star-forming region.
SkyWatcher Quattro 8", RisingCam IMX571 OSC, 7hr with Neodymium filter.

The Iris Nebula
NGC7023 aka the Iris Nebula is a reflection nebula 1300 light-years away in Cepheus, about 6 light-years across.
It's particularly impressive caught in the middle of LDN1170, the large swathes of brown dust swirling around.

A school of hammerhead sharks in a shifting sea of illuminated dust. Inspired by the nebula M78.
vdB14 and vdB15, Camelopardalis
A couple of new reflection nebulae I'd not encountered before.
Over the course of 3 nights I shot about 30 hours' data, from which I kept 20.9hr spanning both neodymium and dual-narrowband filters, stacked and blended to make this little beauty.

An aurochs painted in the heavens. This nebula was based loosely on NGC 2170.
