CommentVery rich area of sky, nice contrast between Sh2-129, VdB140 (reflection nebula) and the surrounding dust clouds. I added the OIII because I recently found out that there is an OIII-only nebula overlapped to Sh2-129. It is not known yet if it is a planetary nebula or some other weird object. Looking at the shape it would seem a planetary nebula shell in expansion, but let's see what they will find out.
