LDN1392 - LDN1408. Rarely imaged dark nebulosity in Camelopardalis

[gorann]

Here is an area with rarely imaged dark nebulosity in Camelopardalis. Numerous LDNs (i.e. from Lynd's Dark Nebula Catalogue) and Bs (from Barnard's catalogue), as you can see from the annotated image (from my Astrobin upload). Interestingly the locations of the nebulae seems rather imprecise suggesting the Lynd and Baranard did not get their coordinates perfectly right. Googling it gave no images and very few on Astrobin. The data is from January this year that I now processed using Star Xterminator in PS to stretch the nebulosity before bringing back the stars.

Captured with a RASA 8 and ASI2600MC (gain 100, offset 30, -15°C), 49 x 5 min.

Cheers & CS, Göran

Thanks Tom! Yes, I expect there must be something bright behind the darkness, most likely stars
