IC417 and NGC 1931, The Spider and the Fly

Revision title: Reprocessed with RC Astro tools

The emission nebulae IC417 (The Spider) and NGC 1931 (The Fly) is located in Auriga. As is often the case in star forming regions lioke this there are several open clusters in the image, Stock 8 which is situated in the spider itself, NGC 1907 towards the left edge of the frame and also a hot young star cluster in NGC 1931 at the bottom of the frame. There are several reflection nebulae in the frame,in The Fly there's even a miniature Trapezium of four stars and embedded in the blueish haze around The Spider are dark nebulae like the LDN 1526. What the fuzzy ball towards the lower right corner of the frame is, I haven't found out. Can you guys help?

Title: Reprocessed with RC Astro tools

Description: The original was a total train wreck suffering from me trying to understand model building for the mount and totally failing. Amazingly the new tools in Pixinsight put me in a position to try to save it regardless of my original screw-up. Corrected the stars with BlurX, removed stars with StarX and blended Ha into both red channel and luminance. It looks more pleasing to me now, but then again that last version set a pretty low bar.

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.
