Description

The catalog of bright nebulae compiled by Lynds (1965), indicates that RMC2 ( Remnant Molecular Cloud) is associated with LBN 640.

With a better than average forecast for a clear night with above average seeing and transparency I was frantically looking through Gary Imm's excellent compendium of possible targets, searching for a candidate to image and not waste a perfectly good evening.  (Thanks Gary, for the fantastic effort, generous help and the high quality practical assistance to those of us on the lower portion of the learning curve)!!  I came across this target which looked interesting and challenging to try to squeeze some photons into something recognizable.

The image was processed SHO, pushed hard and the stars diminished to show as much of the nebula as posible.
