LBN 762 / MBM 13 - Drunken Dragon Nebula
« on: 2017 November 06 21:18:01 »
Rarely imaged (just a couple of images on web) LBN 762 is a Lynds Bright Nebula that firstly identified in 1950 in constellation Aries. It's a brownish color concentrated dust cloud which is a part of a much larger molecular cloud that is designated as MBM 13 by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy in following years. This high latitude molecular cloud of our Milky Way galaxy is a closest star nursery to our Solar System containing pre-main sequence stars.

Imaging and processing this faint stuff is always a challenge, especially when you get insufficient data ruined by bad weather. Anyways, problems aside, it's something new and fresh and intriguing, it may not came out best to my expectations, but exciting nonetheless. Caught really rare and faint galaxies in background too.
