Description

The beautiful blue reflection nebula LBN 782 in Taurus is surrounded by the dark nebulae of Barnard 10 and 7. This is hellishly faint! A lot of the image is just above the black point of the histogram. I used lots of 10 minute exposures of LRGB data. 15 hours of L and 5 hours each of R, G and B. All from my telescope in Spain. I really think I could do with some more data!
See here for photos and details of the equipment setup.
