Description
The dark nebula on the Cygnus-Cepheus border nicknamed the Funnel Cloud Nebula, is a very prominent naked eye feature to the northern Milky Way, more obvious as a dark area than the Northern Coal Sack to the south. This is a fine object for binoculars and the telephoto lens shot here provides the field of most binoculars. It is also known as Le Gentil 3, from the 18th century French astronomer, and also LDN 1003 and 1029. It resembles a dark tornado with a large mass of dark nebulosity at top emerging from a narrow neck below.
