LDN1251- A Dusty Widefield

This is my first broadband image with the Epsilon. I am blown away with what I can achieve in a single night. This thing is a photon vacuum. I still have a bit of work to dial in the field, but at this point I can say that this scope is a keeper.

Final Revision. I am displaying this in full 1:1 resolution of what the image was captured in to show off the massive yet detailed field this camera and scope combination can produce. This image is 9348x6256 pixels. It makes me want to get into mosaics! The only cropping was the dithering border.

I encourage you to take a moment and load it in full res and explore the image. There are several wonderful little galaxies like this seen below:

I find the turmoil within the dust cloud to be really interesting. It reminds me of the star formation area within NGC1333.

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.
