LDN 800 is a dark nebula captured over three nights in early August 2025 using a Sky-Watcher Esprit 120mm refractor and ZWO ASI2600MM Pro camera on an AM5 mount. The dataset comprises 12.17 hours of total integration time across 146 frames. Luminance data accounts for 66 frames at 300 seconds each through an Antlia 2-inch filter, while RGB channels contribute 28 red, 28 green, and 24 blue frames at matching exposures. This monochrome imaging approach allows precise control over color balance and detail extraction in post-processing. The raw data is available for approximately $14.90 under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license, permitting copying, modification, and redistribution for non-commercial purposes.
