Description

LBN 406, also called The Laughing Skull Nebula, is a faint molecular cloud in the Draco constellation. Other notable objects in the frame include LBN 413 at the top left, and UGC 10548 near the bottom center, a spiral galaxy with a magnitude of 14.5 and about 474 million light years from Earth. This was captured on my Edge 9.25 HyperStar rig without filters, over multiple nights at bortle 3 and 4 skies.
