Description

LBN 468 (how is this a Lynds BRIGHT nebulae?) is a large extended dark nebulae structure located in the Constellation of Cepheus, right next to the popular target - the Iris Nebula. Within LBN 468 there are multiple dark nebulae including LDN 1147, 1152, 1157, etc. On the upper left tip of LBN 468 there is a interesting small reflection nebula, Gyulbudaghian's Nebula, illuminated by a protostar.

Late for the season for target in Cepheus, but happy that I got decently enough data to complete this framing. Full of treasures in this part of the sky.
