Description

LDN673 is an interesting object and I was not sure if I can capture it from my light polluted place. Short and not very dark nights made this target even more challenging. Luckily I could exploit a period of clear moonless nights to capture enough subframes.

The cloud complex has a distance of 400-600 ly and extinction caused by molecular clouds causes many of the stars to appear reddish.
