Description

Lynds' Dark Nebula 1622 aka the Boogeyman Nebula. This dark collection of dust surrounded by a rich field of ionized hydrogen gas has been on my list of objects to photograph for a couple of years. I finally started collecting photons for this image about five weeks ago. I went with a pretty heavy emphasis on the Ha, adding it as a luminance layer and inserting it into the red chanel. vdB is a little washed out so id like to go back to see if I can bring it out some more. HOpe youn enjoy.
