| Notes:* | This very photogenic dark nebula in Aquila is not listed in my charting software (Megastar v5.0.12). I saw this beautiful color image of LDN 673 by Bernhard Hubl, and just had to give it a try. There are many named objects in this field ... here is Bernhard's image marked with a few of them. The center coordinates listed are from the CDS |
