Description

The Lynds Dark Nebulae (LDN) Catalog was published by US astronomer Beverly Turner Lynds in 1962. The survey used the 48 inch Palomar telescope and includes 1802 dark nebulae down to the -33 degree declination limit of the telescope.

The LDN catalogue overlaps with the more popular (but much smaller) Barnard Dark Nebulae Catalogue. For this poster, I am focusing on the objects which I found most interesting and which are unique to the LDN catalog.  

The technical data for the objects on the poster is shown in Revision B.

Each of the objects of the poster has previously been uploaded and described individually on Astrobin. They all reside in my Astrobin LDN Collection.
