Description

LBN 564, LBN 561; Andromeda

Astro Systeme Austria N12 f/3.5 astrograph

KAI-11000M; SBIG STL

Total Exposure Time: 9+ hours;  LRGB 250:100:100:100 minutes, unbinned

September 2008; Inkom, ID

Comments: Reflection nebula in Andromeda cataloged by Beverly T. Lynds Catalogue of Bright Nebulae 1965. In 2008 I could not find any other color image of this nebula even after an extensive internet resources search. Therefore, this may be a premier image. The background has been carefully raised to bring out the faint regional dust. LBN 561 is the smaller reflection nebula just down from the center of the image.
