Image Description and Details :

Nebula LDN 1355
Located in the constellation of Cassiopeia,
These dark nebulae lurk in the stellar lairs of the Milky Way. They often connect with the sites of low-mass star formation, but can also float in the arms of the Milky Way as simple cold molecular clouds. They do not have their own light in the visible range and are more recognizable by obscuring more distant stars. And if the astrophoto is taken with long exposure, its brownish color can be seen in the light of nearby stars.
The Helping Hand Nebula is seen toward the constellation Cassiopeia. The shape of the dust cloud darkens in the light of nearby stars, either with a bluish light or sometimes with a yellowish light, but we mainly see its brownish hue.
