LDN 1355 (The helping Hand)

From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Telescope Live with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Australia and Spain. One of the data sets I received, was data from the dark nebula LDN 1355 located in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
