Description

Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 is a dark nebula located about 1300 light years away in Orion Constellation. The nebula is located very close to the famous Barnard Loop in a background of ionized hydrogen atoms glowing in red color. The image was captured over a two month period from my backyard under Bortle 6-7 sky. I took advantage of the full moon nights to capture the Ha data and the moonless nights to capture the RGB data.
