Description

Lynd's Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 is a dark nebula appearing against a background of glowing Hydrogen gas. Only a small hint of the dark cloud was visible even in 10 minute sub-exposures. The Boogeyman is a part of the eastern Orion Molecular Complex, not far from the more famous Horsehead Nebula.
