LBN 733 is an emission and reflection nebula in Camelopardalis
LBN 733 is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Camelopardalis . Lynds rated it brightness class 6 of 6, the faintest, and color class 2, bluish. It spans 35′ × 7′ of sky. It is a faint target for long-exposure photography, and it is highest in the evening sky in March.
Emission and reflection nebula: a cloud where gas glows on its own, lit by the ultraviolet light of hot young stars, next to dust that scatters starlight. Photographs show red emission beside blue reflection.
