Description

LBN 468 is a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus, right next to the Iris Nebula.

This image comprises about 10 hours of data captured over 3 nights. As I image in Bortle 8 light polluted skies, dark nebulae are always a challenge for me. However, imaging at F2 with the Celestron RASA 8 and Antlia triband RGB filter helped to pull out some nice detail.
