This dataset captures LDN 740, a dark nebula, through 8.87 hours of total integration time acquired over two nights in late August 2025. The imaging train consisted of an Askar Fra 400 telescope paired with a ZWO ASI2600MC Air camera on an AM5 mount. Data collection employed four filter channels: 128 frames through an Antlia Luminance filter and 46 frames each through Antlia 3nm narrowband filters in H-alpha, OIII, and SII, all at 120-second exposures. The combination of broadband luminance and narrowband channels provides both structural detail and emission line data for this obscuring cloud. The dataset is available as a free download under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license, permitting copying, modification, and redistribution for non-commercial purposes.
