Barnard 142

Barnard 142 is a dark nebula in Aquila. Together with Barnard 143 it makes up Barnard’s E” as the combination looks a bit like an “E” though to me it looks like it should be Barnards “UI” or “ln” depending on which way you look at it. However in the scopes I imaged these in the combination was too large for the field of view so they ended up as separate images.

It’s about 2,000 light years away.

This is 26h 40m of RGB data. For all the technical details see astrobin.
