A Dusty Angel Nebula (NGC 2170) Widefield and LBN 990

NGC 2170 (the Angel Nebula) is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros. As someone who enjoys reflection nebula, this area is loaded with a chain of them running from the top of frame to the Angel Nebula. I also like the thin whisp of blue from Vdb70 which is overlaying LBN 990 on the right of frame. I've provided an annotated version in the revisions.

I've wanted to photograph this area for several years and finally got the chance. As always, I could use more data, but in the end I'm still blown away by this beautiful patch of sky.

On a side note, LBN 990 seems to be in the middle of a Geosync highway. Most of my frames were taken before midnight and probably 60% of them had trails!

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.
