Dark Nebula LDN881 in Hα-SII/OIII/OIII+rgb

Posted on August 31, 2020April 21, 2021

www.astrobin.com/lj25m9/

Really beautiful object catalogued as 881 on the Lynds’ Catalogue of Dark Nebulae.

It’s one of the jewels that you could find on gamma Cygni nebula, on SADR region of Cygnus, one of my favorites regions of the sky.

“A dark nebula or absorption nebula is a type of interstellar cloud that is so dense that it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from objects behind it, such as background stars and emission or reflection nebulae. The extinction of the light is caused by interstellar dust grains located in the coldest, densest parts of larger molecular clouds.” (wiki)

It was necessary to integrate more than 70 hours to show all faint and nice details on the estructure.

Here was captured using the more natural palette, please also check my HSO palette on this link:
