Location: Germany, Moringen
Data Acquisition Method: Personal Telescope Setup
Description and Details: Since I could not find an image of LDN 1374, I decided to try it out. The colour information was captured over 4h50' with the TS 76EDPH and the ASI 2600MC. The signal was so weak that I was glad to be able to add colour to the dark nebula. H-alpha and 19h luminance were recorded with the RASA.
