Description

LBN762 is a dust cloud located in Aries that is cca 30 x 30 arcminutes in size and is also known as the Drunken Dragon.  While this image is only a small portion of the larger structure, it is my first attempt at capturing this object.  My imaging session was cut short about 03h30 due to heavy cloud and later rains.  Hopefully able to get back to this and add 30+ subs and build out a mosaic of the area.

LBN762 distance cca 850 LY and distant galaxy 280M+ LY.
