Three nights ago we had one of those nights about which astrophotographers dream: clear, cold and moonless with excellent seeing. In that perfect pitch black of a wild northern sky, it was time to do some ghostbusting and film a target I've been meaning to for ages: vdB 141, the Ghost Nebula. At 1470 light years away and only two light years across, it is dim and small, though beautiful. It is so small it really needs a high focal length on it, making it an especially interesting challenge.
