Revision title: Raised the black point a bit for better contrast

Cederblad 51 is a reflection nebula within the Sharpless2-264 aka "Orion´s head "
This is a molecular cloud and HII region in the northern part of the Orion molecular cloud complex and above the blue reflection nebula are some dark structures called B30, B31 and B32.
Not much problems during the acquisition process other than passing clouds and gradients due to the outdoor light from the industrial parks in south-west and west of my frontyard.
This time I got better results using the GraXpert than the DBE and I was very careful on the reduction .

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.
