LBN438 in Lacerta

This is the proper fist light with my RASA dual rig (https://www.astrobin.com/jw4md8/) since both computers now decided to collect data all night, which is still a short night up here. So only 2 + 2 = 4 hours, which is often enough with these fast scopes.

The prominent central structure is LBN438, which is catalogued in Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebula, but it is quite dim and demands rather deep data and stretch. Its magnitude is 16 and the surface brightness only 23. It is 30 arc-minutes long.There are more LBNs in the image including 435 and 440 and quite a few galaxies from the PGC and UGC cataloges. The nebulosity is part of the Lacerta Molecular Cloud.

I could only find relatively few images of LBN438 on Astrobin and none as wide field as this one. Gary Imm has as usual done his research and written a very interesting description of LBN 438 that I can recommend to those that want to know more: https://www.astrobin.com/8iq7ay/

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.
