LBN569 - sorry, just some more IFN!...

This Spring I decided not to put the 8 Edge HD onto my mount and shoot some galaxies at F/7, as it's a pain changing everything over, and a struggle to get enough data with increasingly short nights here. So I've stuck with my RASA rig, and largely avoided galaxies, as I don't feel that's its strength. Problem is, as the milky way disappears under my northern sightlines, what else to shoot in the early part of the short night? Well, I've done quite a lot of polar area IFN shots...

After a bit, I guess they all look the same! This one is a 3 panel mosaic on the borders of Cepheus and Draco that includes a small area categorised by Beverly Turner Lynds as LBN569, and I've stretched to within an inch of its life in order to try and make it more interesting. I had to massively de-saturate the colour due to gradients that came up with the heavy stretch, and also had to fiddle around a bit with approaches to controlling noise and blotchiness. Anyway, didn't seem worth spending too many hours on it, so here it is.

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.
