Pearl Nebula NGC 1999 and the area around it (LRGB)

There is so much going on in the Orion in general. Obviously we all know M42 The Great Orion Nebula, which is propably one of the first targets among the astrophotographers, at least on the northern hemisphere. But around it one can find all kinds of dark gas clouds and other nebulas. Just next to the M42 lies the NGC 1999, also known as The Pearl Nebula. This picture was quite hard to process, because of the bright star on the upper left corner. That star actually is Hatysa, also known as Iota Orionis, which is on the very edge of the M42 itself. One can actually see the edge of the M42 on the very very upper left corner on this picture. These kind of pictures are good in the sence that one can also check how the screen is showing it. The picture looks ok in Ipad and my LCD monitor, but looks very milky even on a good quality gaming monitor.

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.
