| Notes | IC 1848 is actually the designation of an open cluster of stars embedded in the nebula at about an 8 o'clock position from the center of the frame. Two bright stars shining from the "recessed" depths of the nebula at that location lead one to the open cluster. The nebula itself as shown in this image is made up of a number of LBN (Lynd's Bright Nebula) areas, namely LBN 670, 672 and 673. |
