VdB 14 & VdB 15 in Camelopardalis

About the target
Van den Bergh 14 (LBN 681) and 15 (LBN 682) are reflection nebulae situated in the constellation Camelopardalis.
Both are illuminated by two supergiant stars located at the center of the expansive star-forming region Cam OB 1. The reflection nebula VdB 15 exhibits an additional red emission component, contributing to its distinctive pinkish coloration. In the bottom, is a portion of the red emission nebula sh2-202.

Image Acquisition
I had no plans of working on this target. This was a side project where I acquired data about 1 or 2 hours per imaging session. I was not confident if my telescope could capture the details in this nebula, but I am glad it did. After realizing the details and richness of this nebula I regret not spending more time on this target. I still could add more data to this, but I decided to draw line and focus on other targets.

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.
