Sh2-133 and LBN 472 in Cepheus

There are very few images of Sh2-133 on Astrobin, and even fewer of the blue reflection nebula LBN472 next to it. Maybe it is because they are not far from the Iris Nebula and all the bright and beautiful nebulosity there get all the attention. Like Sh2-133 the blue nebulosity of LBN472 is quite faint, so best imaged with a fast instrument.

I have not found much information about Sh2-133 except that it together with several other Ha objects, including the Elephant Trunk Nebula, makes up the Cepheus bubble, a gigantic ring of Ha nebulosity covering 10° of the sky (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/306305/fulltext/37648.text.html).

This was imaged with the IDAS NBZ dual-band filter passing Ha and Oiii. However, as I have experienced before this filter is broad enough to let through blue reflection nebulosity in addition to Oiii.

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.
