A neat object I've wanted to image for some time. LDN 1235. I've tried dark nebula with my dslr and they always turn out a noisy mess. Problem could mostly be the operator too. Well with the new moon and me being eager to get out imaging DSO after a few months off, I gave it a whirl. 1st night had lots of problems, and the data wasn't quite as good. Didn't have matching darks for first session either. Second session went better and full calibration frames. With how faint this is I decided to include most all the frames. Still not very happy with how blotchy and noisy the image was looking, but I guess it is reasonable for a 10+ yr old dslr. Looking forward to shooting this one with my new rig which will be newt + 2600mm.

Final revision was re-edited with trail version of PixInsight. Stacked in Siril, since PI is crashing when I stack but everything after stacking was done in PI. The stretch may not be quite as hard but I like the smoother appearance.

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.
