The LBN 777 nebula, known under nickname Baby Eagle
Nebula, is naturally much dimmer as it reflects only scattered
light of remote stars belonging to our Galaxy. Anybody wanting to make
its image must count with very long exposures to capture its dim glow,
otherwise the dark nebula simply looks like black patch among
stars.
Martin Myslivec used his G3-16200 camera on 30 cm, f/3.6 astrograph
to capture LBN 777. The LRGB image above was combined from 18.5 hours
of unfiltered exposures and 38 hours of exposures through red, green
and blue filters.
