Description

This wide filed view of the Aquila Rift shows many dark nebula with LDN673 being it's most prominent member, seen close to the center of the image. We look towards the middle of the galactic plane where cold cosmic clouds, consisting of H2 molecules and interstellar dust, block the light from background stars.

You might compare this image with a closeup of LDN673 which I took in parallel with a Takahashi Epsilon 160ED scope:
