IC443 & M35 in Gemini

A quick attempt at this beautiful area in south-western part of Gemini. Only 40 minutes integration time. Background looks still noisy but I'm quite satisfied with the final result.

Interesting to see the difference between the two open clusters, populated with less than 100 recent bluish stars for M 35 and more than 100 old yellow stars for NGC 2158. Distance plays also a role, as M35 lies only 2'300 l.y. away, while NGC 2158 is much further away, about 16'500 l.y.

The Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443, stands out nicely above star field, showing some interesting cloud structures inside. Other fainter nebulosity, like IC 444, are much more difficult to light up due to the lack of integration.

Stacking under DSS, post processing under PI and final touch-up in Photoshop, as usual.

Clear skies to all!

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.
