Description

These are some dim dust clouds I stumbled on in Aladin Sky Atlas and I decided to take a closer look with my RASA rig. When I shot this I thought I was aiming at Lynx, but it turns out that this image is mostly in Camelopardalis and Ursa Major. I was slightly surprised to see now that the annotations identify them as LBNs, since they are really quite dim, and are possibly IFN (Intergrated Flux Nebula). They are also quite colourless, which is rare when I use the NBZ Ha+Oiii filter. Indeed there seem to very little Ha emission in the area.
