LBN 468 + HH-215

RH seems to be up running and stable, last software issues resolved. A clear night last night allowed me to experiment with the more subs at shorter length. At F3 figured this should be achievable.

Subs used at 180 lum and 120 RGB seemed to have worked out well. May be a little more data to eek out as no flats for RGB so improvised a little. Had to scale darks as well but that is not too much of an issue.

Have attempted a more natural feel on this one - there was more data there and could have pushed harder but not sure to what end - I liked it and decided not to get carried away. Hopefully it is a decent version of a relatively dark object. Nice to be able to collect enough data in one night in UK as well.

Sitting in Cephus not far from the Iris Nebula a network of LBN and LDN object can be found. Here is part of LBN468 which contains LDN 1147, 1152, 1155, 1157, and 1158.

It also contains a small fan like structure HH-215 aka Gyulbudaghian's Nebula. This small feature is most likely the most interesting as it is a variable nebula much like Hubbles variable nebula.

The neubale is a jet being fired from the variable protostar PV Cephei, and the nebula changes both brightness and shape in relation to the activity of the protostar.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
