LBN-292

LBN 292 is a diffuse, complex emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Belongs to the luminous nebulae of Lynds, having a particular characteristic diffuse and irregular dark areas contrast with the intense bright areas.

There is very little (almost none) additional information on this member of the Lynds Bright Nebula list. The data is from the AUS-2 CCD telescope from Telescope live. I'm posting two versions, one derived from the Hubble SHO palette, the other from PixInsight's ForaxX_SHO script.

What I found interesting is the difference in detail between the two palettes, primarily in the less bright to dim features within LBN 292. For example, the SHO version retains the dimmer dust cloud within the region of the nebula, while the ForaxX version tends to retain detail in some of the dimmer portions of the Nebula itself.

I could not find, aesthetically, any reason to prefer one over the other. I also tried blending the two together. While an interesting experiment, I didn't find the result to be an improvement over either of the source versions.

LBN-292, as a portion of the Cygnus 'cloud' lies within a dense star field. There were no particular standout bright or large stars within the FoV, but there are some other objects that are revealed by Astrobin's plate solving.

Let me know which version you find more appealing. Please enjoy!!!

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.
