Revision title: Made a slight contrast adjustment

This is my 1st real attempt at an image with my new wide field setup some of you know I just got. I collected a bit over 12hrs of data on this and decided to process it. While I'm happy with the scope I'm unhappy with my framing of this object. There are many different objects in the image which includes vdB-152 a reflection nebula that is at the tip of Barnard 175. A planetary nebula designated DeHt-5 which is the red and blue patch down to the lower right edge of the image.

I shot this at the native fl of my setup which my framing as I mentioned is less then ideal but I do plan to reimage this once I switch over the setup with my Apex-L fr which will give me a much larger fov and I plan to offset the whole image to bring in much more dark nebula as well as the SNR 110.3 which is the red filament that swoops across the center of the image. I'll defiantly need more integration time I'm sure but look forward to coming back to this image later in the fall.

All in all I'm happy with my new setup and look forward to taking many more images with it.

Thanks for looking!

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.
