Description

LDN183 et LDN169 are part of a "High Latitude Molecular Clouds" formation in Serpens constellation. It is a very seldom imaged area because extremely faint and mostly undocumented.

I found a paper from 2018 which estimates its distance around 300 light years; pretty close! Most of the stars visible in this picture are in the nebula's background : https://www.aanda.org/…/…/2018/03/aa31742-17/aa31742-17.html

12h of 30s exposures from my Bortle 4/5 backyard.

Sony A7SII unmodded, 61EDPH 274mm @ F4.5, Skyguider pro unguided.

Processing : Siril, Pixinsight, Photoshop, Lightroom, Topaz AI and starnet++.
