M52 and NGC 7635

When I went outside I had no idea what I was going to image. I decided to sit down for a few minutes to look at the sky. It looked like my best bet would be a target to the North or Northeast. There was a very bright 3/4 Moon up.

I chose NGC 6823 a nebula. After taking several test mages I decided to try another target. This

time I tried the Veil Nebula Complex again with no luck. Next I moved to Bernard's Galaxy. However after taking several images at different settings and getting nothing I looked for another target. I noticed Cassiopeia low in the sky. It's been a year since I imaged the Bubble Nebula so

I decided to try it again. After taking a test image or two I finally said to heck with this. I'm

going to image NGC 7635 and if I get an image fine and if I don't that's fine also. I've imaged NGC 7635 three or four times but I've never gotten an image that I was pleased with. Last night was no exception. I did get an image but it is no better than my previous images. I'm just not capturing the amount of nebulosity that I would like to capture. Anyway with all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of M52 and NGC 7635.

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.
