Description

This very faint nebula is composed from tenuous IFN, Integrated Flux Nebula : "Integrated Flux Nebulae is the term I've coined to describe high galactic latitude nebulae that are illuminated not by a single star (as most nebula in the plane of the Galaxy are) but by the energy from the integrated flux of all the stars in the Milky Way. These nebulae clouds, an important component of the Interstellar Medium, are composed of dust particles, hydrogen and carbon monoxide and other elements. " (Mandel-Wilson Catalog Page).

Captured between 23 February and 17 April 2018 from e-Eye Extremadura in Spain, comprising 31.5hrs integration. Lum 93 x 600s; RG&B each 32 x 600s.
