Telescope: Stellarvue 80mm Triplet | Designation:LDN 673 (Lynds’ Dark Nebula 673) is a highly fractured and very dense dark cloud complex of about 7 light-years across, located in the center of the Aquila Rift, some 300 – 600 light-years from Earth in the northern constellation of Aquila (the Eagle). The Aquila Rift forms a great mass of dark molecular clouds along the summer Milky Way through the constellations Aquila, Serpens, and eastern Ophiuchus. It consists of numerous small and large clouds, many of which have been identified and tabulated by B.T. Lynds (in 1962). |
