Figure 1: Observed DIB specta within and around the LB. Normalized high S/N spectrum of strong (HD 43384 with EWλ5780 = 452±48 mÅ, EWλ5797 = 125±15 mÅ), mid (HD 175869 with EWλ5780 = 135±16 mÅ, EWλ5797 = 29 ± 5 mÅ), and weak (HD 23480 with EWλ5780 = 16 ± 4 mÅ, EWλ5797 = 8 ± 3 mÅ) DIBs as well as a sightline with absence of λ5797 (HD 12216 with EWλ5780 = 17± 3 mÅ) and an example of sightlines with no DIBs at all (HD193369). The red lines show Gaussian fits to the DIBs. All spectra are moved to interstellar rest frame. The HD 12216 (at d = 44 pc) is an example of DIBs located within the LB, and HD 23480 is located at the wall of the LB (at d = 105 pc), while HD 43384 is located well outside the LB at d = 641 pc.
