| Notes: | Another of the catalogued dark nebulae clustering on and around
IC 1396.
This is the last of my August 2011 'tour' of the numerous Barnard dark nebulae of IC 1396, that included B 160, B 161, B 165/166/167, B 365, B 366 and B 367. B 162 is the irregular patch of 'clouds' at the Northwest (upper right) of this image. I centered the field to include the dark little patch to the Southeast (lower left) ... only information on this little cloud I can find is from the CDS ... catalogued as [G85] 21. [G85] 21 is a 'Dark Globule' that is "Part of Cloud". This description from the on-line Edward Emerson Barnard "A Photographic Atlas of Selected Region of The Milky Way":
