Description

LBN 782, shown on the left is a reflection nebula and is part of the Taurus molecular cloud.  There are a number of dark nebula here including B7, B9, B209, and B211.  In the lower right, you'll see the galaxy IC 359.  This area looks like a great place explore and would be fun to shoot with a wider field of view.    As always hoping to get some more data to tease out more detail.    40 subs lum, 15 subs each RGB.

Description: Revisited this a year later and used new processing workflow for dark nebula. Had to apply more noise reduction than normal. Really needed one extra night of data on this one.
