These are reflection nebulae in Cygnus at a. distance of approx. 5500 light years. They are associated with the Ha clouds of IC1318 which are also partly depicted. Considering there is no astronomic darkness in June here, I am quite pleased with the result.

In the lower right you can see a ring-shaped object. That is V1515 Cyg, a FU Orionis object. These stars are associated with large mass ejections and probably show a mass transfer between an accretion disc and a T Tauri star. There are also two bipolar nebulae in the image.

I also gave the CFF RC corrector another try - it seems something is really off, I can't get a fully-corrected field with it. And with my seeing, the TS RC reducer gives the same FWHM in arc seconds with a larger FOV and better per-pixel illumination, so I'm back to using that.

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.
