Description

Lynd's dark nebula 1355 and others in LRGB, also known as the Cosmic/Helping Hand Nebula.
This object was very faint and difficult to process, noise and colour mottling were tricky to deal with. I could probably have done with more time on target considering how faint it turned out to be.
That said dark nebulae are one of my favourite objects and there are a lot of them in this part of the sky.
