Description

This image presents faint large nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia registered as LBN 603 in the Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebulae. LBN 603 is a faintest nebula according to the Lynds' brightness scale. Dark nebulae LDN 1295 and LDN 1296 are embedded in this large nebula complex of molecular hydrogen and dust.
I also captured 21 hours of Ha and Oiii data, hoping to catch any traces of these gases but got absolutely no signal and did not use that data in the total integration.
The image data was captured on moonless nights in October/November 2023 from Bortle 4 class backyard in the area of Joshua Tree Park in California.
