LBN 782

To the left with blue luminosity is the nebula LBN 782 and to the right of that with brown dust is LDn 1495 which dominates a wide field of view. Out of the field of view are several Barnard Dark nebulas 7, 10, 209 and 211. As you look closely their are also several small very distant galaxies.

The final revised version has all 4 channels processed in DBE separately prior to LRGB combination and for this particular image it did help very much to do so.

Did I say final revision.? Well ; here is a final of a final revision. Upon completion of a class with Warren Keller I was able to see very clearly how important it is to attack the noise in the linear state. This is what I did using MLT for the each individual L,R,G,B master in gray scale and then applying TGV Denoise in non linear state. I also applied more noise tools using Neil Carboni's actions in Photoshop CC and the results came out very nice IMO. Please click on the full scale image and compare to my previous renditions and try to pinch on image to see greatly enlarged.

The updated final version has a star mask employed to bring out the faint wisp with better clarity without blowing out the stars.

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.
