[APML] Sh2-129

[lkt <tan@cox.net>]

Here is another new image taken this past new moon. This is a shot of
Sh2-129 in Cepheus.

This object is situated right next to the much more photographed IC1396.
In fact, IC1396 begins at the upper left of this nebula. My first
attempt last year of this object with a Wratten 25 for the red channel
did not bring out this nebulosity very well. This time I used the
Wratten 92 filter for a 45 min red exposure. The corresponding red
channel has much better SNR due to the narrower band of this filter.
