This image shows you the whole of Pegasus's square captured with a medium-ranged telephoto lens. Although this image covers far field from the Milky Way, you can detect dimmed distribution of inter stellar gaseous matters in this image. Especially striking parts of LBN 418 & LBN 419 can be seen between α Peg (Markab) and β Peg in western region. These nebulae have extraordinary larger-scale, stretching toward the Aries and Taurus in east.
