Description

Lynd's Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 in Orion is revealed against the background of glowing hydrogen gas.  The dark shape does seem to resemble the mythical Boogeyman.  I decided to process this as an HaLRGB using a synthetic luminance created from the RGB channels. Trying to economize with my imaging sessions due to troubles with intermittent high clouds.
