Description

LBN 468 is a dark and reflection nebula in Cepheus located 1,600 light years away. The region has many dust lanes of interstellar matter scattered throughout the frame. Seeing through a telescopes eyepiece you would see voids of emptiness with no stars visible. LBN 468's apparent size is 60 X 50 arc minutes with an unknown visual magnitude.

On update in image integration changed to linear fit, instead of winsorized, and changed default in pixel rejection from 5/3 to 4/2 and used multiscale linerar transform for noise reduction.

Not sure if you can see the difference in Astrobin, but enlarged in PI I was able to see a huge improvement in noise reduction and bad pixel rejection. I had to do a quick 3rd update since it needed a mild color saturation level increase in PI.
