NCG 2170 - Angel Nebula and NGC 2185

This object has always been so fascinating to me and I've fallen in love with the color pallette of this area. The stellar nursery is tucked away in the reflection nebula sorrounded by dust and debris. Little did I know just how dim this target is compared to others I have shot. I would love to revisit this some day in the future and add more data to the integrated stack to knock down the noise more and bring out some of the fainter details that sorrounds it. Another object that is rarely shot but captured here is NGC 2185, another tough object.

If there is anyone that would be willing to donate some data on this target please let me know! This is by far my favorite target that we have aquired so far. Can't wait to dig deeper in our astro library that we have been so diligent to collect over the last 7 months. Astrophotography is a journey...

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.
