The dark nebula LDN 981 in Cygnus is a popular target for wide field of view imaging. It certainly is impressive and its only a matter of time before someone at S&T tells everyone its also called "The Starfish Nebula" or "The Chthulu nebula" or something similarly trite, but I'm content with LDN981. Its concise and its simple.
Anyway, its a pretty field that contains V1331 which has a shell of gas round it and is believed to be a protostar, subtype T-Tauri. I fancied a quick look at it and was rewarded well for my 40 mins. Will have another look every now and again and see if there are any obvious changes.
