The Reaper (LDN 673, 684)

Image Description and Details :

LDN 673 (lower-left) is a swirling Dark Nebula located within the main band of the Milky Way in Aquila which takes on a tentacle-like appearance. Including the dark nebula LDN 684 in the upper-right, the entire complex appears much like the silhouette of a Reaper from the Mass Effect series.

I shot this across 6 nights under the Bortle 1 skies of the 2021 Okie-Tex Star Party totaling 6 hours Luminance (full visible light spectrum for contrast) and 2.3 hours exposure for each Red, Green, and Blue channels. 350mm Focal Length Refractor, ASI1600MM-P, APT for capture, Pixinsight for processing
